Driving Wheel castings for a 5" Claud
| John Billard | 10/01/2013 18:50:27 |
| 42 forum posts | I am building a 5" gauge Gresley rebuild of a Super Claud No 62613 as it was when it came out of service in 1960 in D16/3 form. The Martin Evans drawings are useful as a guide but follow the Maid of Kent design which has significant differences to the Claud. I am well on with the tender but for the engine I am looking for suitable driving wheel castings about 7.4" dia 20 spoke. Can anyone help before I start with my own pattern? Kind regards John Billard |

| 77 forum posts 5 photos | My Claud wheels are the correct 20 spoke with the raised bosses in the middle. Not sure where they came from as they were second hand. Might be worth trying blackgates. |
