(This point has already been brought up by ROSCO at JLUG, but I’ll say it
again here.) The small BBB wheels would look good enough for
diesels/electrics, although they are designed to be used on steamers and do
have spokes. But the spokes can be hidden with greebling and details.....
|
And some older diesels and electrics do have spoked wheels!
|
I was wondering about that when I had that discussion with ROSCO. Neither of
us could think of such a proto, although I know plenty of electrics have the
spoked wheels. Care to share examples? Would be nice to see some spoke
wheeled diesels.

Hmm, perhaps I should take note of your point below! The only one I can think of
off the top of my head is the BR
class 74 electro-diesel (1) which is a bit of a cheat as they are really
electrics with a small diesel generator for limited working off electrified
lines. However searching for these pages also found me the
Queensland Railway 1170 class (2)

If I recall correctly. I know what it means too ;-) I DARE not post something
without fully understanding what I’m talking about (at least at LUGNET) or I
could land into trouble LOL.

(1) Although that page does not mention the spoked wheels the clss was converted
from class 71 electrics, this
page mentions the spoked wheels.
(2)
This page mentions the spoked
wheels
