   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.

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.
