4318 forum posts 291 photos 1 articles	Hi David, It's a bit long winded, but if you have the patience download Dias Costa's index application see this thread: LINK Once you have that search for steam engine construction series mentioning wheels later than 2001 in the Model Engineer Index. Assuming you have aan ME subscription, you can then download the articles in question from the online archive. The descriptions there are better than Icold do, having only machined cast flywheels and loco wheels from solid steel blanks, which are much different processes. Neil

8 forum posts	Hi David, August EIM has Doug Hewson doing a photo shoot about machining the wheels for his Y4. They are drivers, but it's the same process, just ignore the crank pin part. Simon
