Tich Wheels

[Mike BrettParticipant @mikebrett89695]

Hi

Any kind sole out there that could give me the size of Tich wheels. All I need is the width across the tread.

Many thanks Mike

What size

[Mike BrettParticipant @mikebrett89695]

When I say width I mean tread diameter.

The standards are to suite the gauge, in principle. It's surprisingly difficult to find the standards on line, but you shuld be able to use the dimensions of any 3 1/2" gauge loco.

These are what i settled on for Southam, which is an 0-4-0 which is pretty much the same size as Tich, and it has run OK on at least five different tracks, including Derby which has points! You can even use Tich castings for its wheels, so these dimensions should be fine.

Hi Neil

Southam is also the sort of engine I am building, so many thanks for info.

Kind soul?

Mike –

The Tich drawing extract on the AJ Reeves website gives the wheels as 2 inch diameter over the tread and the flange height as 1/8 inch. Hence the overall diameter over the flange is 2.25 inches.
