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.

I would buy 12 axels, in all three colours !! Red , Black & Gray.
Total 36 axels @ $10us each ??? = $360us ???
But, for me to spend that sort of money the design would have to be perfected.
So that they work perfectly on 9v & 12v rails. And the push rods run smooth.
What about a Blind Driver ??? Many thanks,Teunis.
