I know you can get the motor and gearboxes for this locomotive from High Level Kits, but they have told me that they don't do wheels for their kits. If anyone on the boards has built this model, what wheels did you use and where did you get them?

Bass,

You need 14mm wheels for a near scale 3'7".
Markits now supply these so go on their web site: http://www.markits.com/showroom/catalog ... ng_wheels/

You have to scroll down to find the ones that you want. You need to know how many spokes you require and whether the crank pin is between the spokes or in line with a spoke, if it really bothers you.

If they cannot supply, you could also try Alan Gibson Model Products on 01603 715862 or contact Blacksmith models on: http://www.blacksmithmodels.com/index.htm
