ALAN GIBSON WHEELS (16·5mm/OO gauge) :
£3.05 for 2 axles & 4 bearings, or £6.10 for 4 axles & 8 bearings (Bogie wagons / GWR Crane)
NOTE: BR wagons with "A" as the third letter of the TOPS code, e.g. BAA, generally have/had disc brake wheels. There are discs to fit onto 3-hole wheels in most kits where needed, alternatively disc brake wheels are in the Romford range (not stocked by us).
Walrus and Whale hoppers are likely to have had plain disc wheels (not stocked by us).
The GWR Crane and Match truck requires two axles S and two axles T.
Types are shown for the sort of wheels fitted when built, but may have been replaced later, e.g. "Open" spoked by spoked, and spoked by 3-hole. More than one letter, e.g. S/D, indicates the order in which the types of wheels were used on the wagon.
Very occasionally, open spoked wheels were used as a replacement, possibly because they were the only ones available that fitted the axlebox journals (bearing diameter/length).
Types available (Letter as shown above after kit price):
ROMFORD GEARS (for locos)
CA1 40:1 gears – 2mm bore steel worm & 1/8" bore brass worm £4.40

Illustrated Catalogue (A5 - 20 pages) £1.20 including postage
Or you can download and print our 2011 Catalogue (Issue Three) from pdf files
There are three files. The first file will print the cover/page 20 and first sides of the other sheets (3/18 etc.). You may need to print page one to test your printer settings (A4 Landscape). The second file prints the other sides, starting with pages 10/11 which go on the back of pages 9/12 (i.e. in reverse order to the first sides). Don't forget to reload the printed sheets in the same order as they will be used by your printer. You may need to reverse the order of the pages, depending on how your printer loads paper.
The optional third file prints the colour illustration of "cambrian", frame and Railway Company icons on the front cover. This is also A4 Landscape – note that it prints at the bottom of the page in the printer, so the back page needs to be nearest the end your printer takes in paper (and the correct way up!).
