Hi

Came across the following set of pictures of a large scale steam engine on Brickshelf.

Very well done.

What I want to know is how the wheels were constructed. I am in the process of trying to make a John Deere Model D tractor with steel wheels, and my LEGO renditions pale in comparison to these wheels. I can’t figure out how the wheels for the train were constructed. Any ideas would be appreciated. Or better still contact information for the person who submitted to Brickshelf would do also.

Thx.

Dave

(...) I'm not sure, but as far as I can guess, the outer ring of the wheels looks like the "holder" ring you get with the minifig black tools & utensils. Arne, Copenhagen (20 years ago, 25-Mar-04, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) I heard someone say they were Fischer Technic (??) wheels. I might have an image somewhere with the contact info on it, I'll check and if I find it I'll post it. JohnG, GMLTC (20 years ago, 25-Mar-04, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

snipping* (...) Hi, You could try something along this line: John Deere Model A tractor, non Aero version, Approx system scale. (URL) While it works I would love to know a better way too! Thanks Troy (20 years ago, 27-Apr-04, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
