Wheels for Gauge 3

[Mike W]

Reading a post elsewhere on WT reminded me how lucky we are in Gauge 3. For a minority scale the range of parts available is quite astounding. For anyone who didn't know:

The N2.5GA, including their Alan Headech range, offer almost 100 different wheel castings.
Mark Wood offers a further 45-ish castings.
Walsall offer castings, though I've never worked out how many and what.
Slaters have an expanding range of almost 40 wheels.
GRS have a couple of different wagon and carriage wheels.
Are there any others?

Although the number of Gauge 3 modelers seems to be expanding fast, we are still a select(!) few and are very lucky to have such trade support.

Mike,
Peartree would also do G3 wheels if asked.
You may recall I got some prices for Mk1 carriage wheels from them a couple of years ago, but there wasn't sufficient interest to get to production.

Thanks for the reminder Andy. They did the wheels for the Sentinel so I should have remembered, though that was a special order and not generally available from them.

And I see that Walsall list seven different wheel castings for Gauge 3. That brings the total to about 200 different wheels!
