Has anyone found a supplier of Locomotive wheels for 16mm scale that 'look' Narrow gauge i.e. Six spokes with balance weight and crank pin hole and about 24 or 32mm diameter? They don't have to have metal centres necessarily. I'm trying to finish off a model of Baguley 'Golspie' that's been kicking around in my workshop.
Thanks in advance.

Wallsall Industries have recently added castings for ng drivers to their range. One of them is a 6 spoke 32mm nominal dia., although listed as 5 spoke.

I've used Walsall castings on my current project and found them easy to machine, with no casting faults. I think they offer a machining service if you don't have the facilities.

Thanks for that Graeme that's just what I was looking for! I don't think I would have ever found that in google search It just doesn't come up.

The Walsall home page will turn up if you search for 'model loco wheel castings', but it isn't obvious that they do SM32/45 wheels until you drill down on the site.
