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.

To answer your question, Yes. Based on some ‘inside’ information, somebody
is making train drive wheels. I’ve heard they will be available for purchase
certainly before christmas.
It leaves me wondering, how much would you pay? What is a fair price?
Cheers.

It’s can only be an educated guess but further to this does anyone have an idea
of the quantities that would sell. While a lot of AFOLS seem to have an
unlimited budget many don’t (like myself!) thus while I would like about 12
axles/24 wheels; I would probably only get 3-4 axles and maybe some more later,
this would not really be affected by the price. (3-4 axles could be pretty much
said to be a minimum order.)
How many train modelling AFOLs are there out there? Most do probably not
read/post here and sof course some won’t be on the net at all.
