Sorry, some more photos.
The original Slaters wheels were a special order and most of David’s stock is now gone I believe.
I had the original wheels turned to S7 by a fellow in the UK. After the wheels coming back to Australia not machined correctly, then going back to the UK, only for them to show up again un machined, I decided to turn the wheels myself.
I then had Mark Wood cast 12 class wheels in cast iron for me. They are a thing of beauty. I was not keen on machining cast iron on my beloved Myford so had a chap in the UK machine and mount them on axles. He did an incredible job. Top notch work.
The Model is running a Loksound 5 with Tangband speaker in the boiler. I recorded locomotive 3016 here in Australia and built the sound file.
