I did go and view a Fayette offered on ebay, it was a product of the 1930's, I think it was made when standards were not like they are today. With poorly...

Hi, I've just joined this group and I wonder if anyone can tell me if wheels approx. 1.75 inch diameter(plain not spoked)are available for 2.5 inch gauge...
I'd suggest steel bar as well (get the stockist to cut it into slices for you, that way you can get wheel blanks for about 30 to 50 pence. If you really prefer...

David - Sorry you are bored with this group and I can understand your feelings. C'mon chaps. We have some of the very best 2.5in and Gauge 3 modellers in the...
Don't forget that links can only be put in if someone out there knows one. There is very little on the net for 2 1/2" gauge, even less before David started...
David, I got this e.mail from Yahoo, have you made me owner? If so, I will try to get everything 'shipshape'. At least I have been down the rocky road of ...
Simon, Thanks. I should not have used the word 'elitist' - sorry. Perhaps 'shy', 'secretive', 'hiding under a bushel', but not 'elitist'. To answer your...
