WHEEL CASTINGS
for GWR 2-6-0 Aberdare class at 1:22.6, 17/32″: 1 foot for Gauge 3.

A full set consists of 2 x X475 leading, 6 x X476 driving, and 6 x X20 tender wheels.

Suitable for the Gauge 3 Society 2010 recommended minimum tyre width of 6.8 mm, or the earlier standard of 8.0 mm.

I do not know if the prototype driving wheel weights are surface mounted plates or are cast in so have not included them. The photo in Russell vol. 2: fig 50, shows the driven wheels with one end of a weight more or less in line with the crank and no indication of the weights in the coupled wheels.
