I am pleased to say that the price on the gauge will now be ?7 thanks to the quantity of the order.

It will be 4 weeks or so before these are produced.

Roy/All,

I appreciate your concerns that the standards relate to the wheels you originally produced, so I thought it would be useful to measure my locos and rolling stock which use other types wheels. Results are:

Wagons - mainly Alan Gibson OO wheels re-gauged (I'm assuming these are RP25) - 12.4mm
Manning Wardle 2-6-2 -? Alan Gibson wheels intended for the 7mm L&B kit - 12.4mm
Baldwin 4-6-0 - very old Alan Gibson wheels intended for OO/EM - 12.4mm
K1 Garratt - coarse Romford/Markits wheels on 14mm axles re-profiled with Scale7 tool - 12.3mm

From the above I would assert that the modern fine RP25 standard wheels set to 12.4mm will work just fine.

Interesting the B to B part of my old RCL standards gauge (which O confess I rarely use) seems to measure at 12.6mm. I don't believe my 15 year old (but carefully looked after) Mitutoyo vernier caliper is at fault.

Regards
John
