021 wheel sets


 

Where can I get 21mm gauge wagon wheels of 12mm diameter and smaller.
the Slaters wheels at 2ft 3in (15.75mm) are too large.?


thanks

Check the Slaters axle diameter. With a bit of luck Gibson wheels will fit. Gibson axles are 2mm diameter, and they do both 12mm and 10.5mm wheels, both spoked and disc. They can be slid off the Gibson axles fairly easily (a slight twist helps) whilst still having enough “stick” to sit firm on the new axles. You will end up throwing away the Gibson 16.5mm gauge axles, but so be it.

Slaters do 14mm dia trailing wheels in 21mm gauge, solid centre. Intended for CDR railcar trailing bogies but ideal for other uses.
For smaller wheels I agree with Allan.

Bearing in mind that Broad Gauge in 4mm scale is 28mm is it worth a look at the BGS website?
