This probably belongs in the grand scales section, since they are 8" in diameter. They are going to look lovely on the Welsh slate cars they were designed for.

A little locomotive with 4 wheels on the track is a lot more fun
than a 1/2 finished one with 16 wheels on the bench!

Re: I've been making wheels!
An assortment of sizes and styles.
(diameter over tread, not flange)
Black: 8"
Blue: 6 1/2"
Red: 5"
Grey: 5 3/4"
Orange: 6"
White: 5"
Since they are modeled parametrically, I can resize thickness and diameter without affecting the rest of the geometry.
Let me know what you want or need, we can work something out.

Re: I've been making wheels!
What material are they made of?
Whoops - just saw the footnote on the photo- appear to be patterns not cast wheels... very cool!
Thanks

Hey Glenn. The top photo shows the final ductile iron castings made from my patterns on the far right.Glenn Brooks wrote:What material are they made of?
