I think it's enough so that, with the addition of the width of half the ridge
around a pin, it'll stand clear. Fitting a round plate on the hub, if it clears
the end of the axle, would just foul the connecting rod anyway.
I think these are excellent. I'll certainly be after black and dark grey. I
can see people would be after red too, but I'm curious what people would want
ordinary grey for.
I'm not sure I'd rebuild my current stock, but I have a few ideas for new Locos.
