Title: Wagon wheels - NOT the chocolate biscuit !
Post by: Dancess on April 23, 2015, 01:10:58 PM
Am looking to replace wheels on some of my old Farish wagons but unsure of whether spoked or 3 hole disc would be correct, can a generalisation be applied that wooden bodied had spoked wheels while others had disc variety?

Many thanks

3-hole disc wheels were generally used on wooden-bodied wagons too. I have a similar question outstanding prompted by the Peco wagon chassis kits being supplied with spoked wheels and me having to buy sets of disc wheels to replace the spoked ones on my NGS SR van, and shock wagon/van kits...

Unfortunately it's not as simple as that...

There are several factors to consider
