Frank,
They will be plastic inner, metal rim, metal axle. I can get gunmetal,
nickel silver, brass, mild steel etc for metals, and delrin or other
engineering plastics for inners. I'll have to find out if I can get the
metal blackened.
I've never got past laying flextrack before so materials for wheels is a
whole new game.
The coal skips wheels are a 6 flat spoke design, inside bearing. The
coalskips to go with them will be for sale too sometime next year (in
limited quantities, undecided on construction method). Heres a pic of the
prototype skip (albeit with different wheels):
Will Adrian review something from someone who isn't an Association member?
Regards,
Mark K

Mark,
How constructed, metal rim and plastic inner? Keep us in touch, 7mm
diameter wheels (scale 12") might be of use to some of us. When you get
some made, send Adrian Gray a set for review in Narrow Lines, it is good
publicity and his reviews are fair.
Frank
