Slater’s can supply the correct 14mm gauge axles with any of there wheels
that have bolt together 1/8” axles, I am not sure if they do 14mm gauge axles
for there rollingstock range of wheels.
If you are looking for a source of driving axles with extended journals you
can buy the complete driving wheelsets for the Bachmann On30 2-8-0
loco?? <>
to make these axles to suit 14mm gauge you need to machine about 1mm. off
each side on the shoulder to allow the wheels to slide in the bit more, also any
of the Slater’s rollingstock wheels are a nice press fit on these axles. The
2-8-0 wheels are 10 spoke 19.05mm dia. which is only a fraction less then 2’9”
in 7mm. scale which makes these wheels and axles near perfect for building a
model of Lyn.
Hi
Paul. Thanks very much. I am much a build and like things to be perfect. I plan
to scratch build a few of my favourite 2ft Gauge locos. I can build track quite
easily and the locos its just the wheels I will struggle with. Is regauging o16
wheels easy? Regards Thomas
