Spoked btw mostly fell out of favour with the addition of train braking as they are much less able to dissipate heat.
I'm modelling late 50s/early 60s steam era, so would spoked still be used, Alan?

Rabs

As Alan says, if the wagons were vacuum brake fitted they would probably have 3 hole wheels.  If they are unfitted they are likely to have spoked wheels (these would not have been changed in most cases).  In that period I believe that it could be either, so best find some pictures.
