65 forum posts 48 photos	I am at the stage with my 1” Minnie, where I need to start thinking about construction of the wheels. I recollect that this was discussed in the past on this forum. There was reference to a rivet setting tool: a good aid to riveting and perhaps superior to the traditional bashing with a hammer and set. To save me trawling through the archives, please can anyone provide a reference to this tool? Many thanks in advance Ray Griffin
