Many Thanks Ben ,
My new BBB wheels have arrived !!!
These wheels look even better in real life , than on the computer (a old
dinosaur with windows 95). I'm very suprized and HAPPY by the quality of these
wheels . 100/100.I am looking forward to building and testing a new steam train
or 2 or 3 now.
Would it be good to just have a hole in the middle of the wheel to put a 2*4
modified plate with technic clips?(like the modified plates that hold the wheels
on the Lego soccer buses).Or was it a technic axel for a reason ? Chain drive?
What colours were you going to release the final production run in ?
As Light grey 12v style wheels were never made.Or are you going to start making
some smaller wheels too?
Hopefully I will be going to Brickfest PDX. So I will thank you again in
person.And maybe a new train with these wheels ! 8 wide of course!
Many Thanks, Teunis M>ltc
