Hi all!
In the past we have collected some demands we train heads have on driver
wheels. These have been requested several times at TLC so far.
Here comes the wishlist to make up a draft for a new driver wheel:

One question, I can’t really tell from the images:
Is the distance between the axle hole and the peg hole a standard stud
distance?

Hi John,
thanks for bringing up this question! I was thinking about this for a while
myself and I decided to do it in a distance of 8 mm (which is same as two
stud centers next to each other on a 1x2 brick - or holes in a technick
beam.)
You nearly could have guessed it out of the picture above, the inner black
line is the diameter of a 1x1 round plate (=8mm).

Good question! It “arguably” doesn’t matter as much as some distances
though, unless you plan to mount something between them. In many
applications you just have the main rod and or connecting rod to deal with
and the eccentricity they have is only a factor in considering how much
connecting rod and piston rod throw you’re going to have to deal with.
Still it would be nice to know. Personally I hope it’s rather short.

Well, I know how pointless it would be to “argue” with Lar (grin), but it
would seem silly to not have this be a standard distance. I could easily
imagine using a Technic cam or 1x3 liftarm on a wheel. (John frantically
searching for FTX reference for displaying LDraw images and not finding
it...)

Sorry,I have not had time to read all of the posts on this subject.
I would love to see TLC make these wheels. But, I don’t think that they ever
will. SADLY ,the 12v era has gone. Even though 12v wheels still work fine on 9v
.rails.
Being this , was any AFOL planing to start making some new steam train wheels?
In RED,BLACK & GRAY. As I would like to get some . I’m guessing that they won’t
be cheap. As A mould would have to be made. Perfect design BEN !! Many thanks ,
Teunis.
