Re: [O-14] Rollingstock Wheels
Mark, What are you thinking of making or having made that Gibson in particular doesn't do? He makes curly spokes in 3 sizes. 9, 10.5 and 12mm, and some of his 00 wheels will also do for narrow

Re: [O-14] Rollingstock Wheels

Re: [O-14] Rollingstock Wheels
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

Re: The Truth about Romfords
Frank, There is probably quite a bit, but the 3mm Society, like most UK socieities can only sell to members. The society price list is: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/gfcoker/3mmPriceList.htm But, as
