Cast model locomotive wheels

[Alan DonovanParticipant @alandonovan54394]

Hello all.

I have been given some unmachined Cast Locomotive Wheels, and I am trying to identify which locomotive – or Locomotives these are from.

There are three differing sizes, the larger two wheels are intended as 'drivers'. The smaller wheel is a bogie wheel.

Here are the technical details followed by photos of the wheels. All dimensions are in mm and are 'as cast'.

Largest wheel – 43.2 tread diameter, 16 spoke, 6 off. Marked (stamped) 220.

Medium wheel – 36.1 tread diameter, 14 spoke, 12 off. Marked (cast) X222.

Small wheel – 23.2 tread diameter, 10 spoke, 4 off. No markings.

I have searched the website of a couple of wheel 'casters/suppliers' but have been unsuccessful in matching the reference numbers with their current offerings.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Best wishes to all.

Alan.

Help with identification please.

Hello Alan,

The X222 is a Stuart Turner code for an O gauge driving wheel with a finished tread diameter of 35mm (1.375" ). The 220 is probably also a Stuart Turner O gauge driver and short for X220. That is for a finished tread diameter of 35.7 – 41.3mm (1.5625" – 1.325" ). The smaller wheels may be O gauge bogie or tender wheels. They could be X218.
