I am in search of some basic wheels about 14mm diameter with spindles if possible. I have searched the usual places but nothing suitable is showing itself. Any pointers would be much appreciated.

I take it you don’t have a lathe, or know someone who owns one?

Yes I do, it may well come to that but I will have to grind up some tools which I was hoping to avoid.

Hi Dwayne
14mm is standard for OO scale railway coach wheels. Not sure if they would suit?

They ideally need to have a rubber tyre to limit the noise this will make while turning,

this is what I printed but I am not happy with them and printer is now playing up (filament has absorbed moisture I think must invest in a dryer)

The other option I was looking at was dicast car spares.....but that’s a bit of a minefield......just too many options ;)
