New Wheels

In the post this week I recieved some wheels from Dundas models. The old ones are gone and the new ones are far nicer. Pity there's no spoked ones.

So left to right we have Greenwich 6.2mm, Mosskito 6.2mm and Mosskito 8mm (for the DS).

Now for the review. Good points are that they are all NMRA compliant for back-to-back, flange depth and wheel width. Bad points are that they are still on 15mm axles. Also note that they are are only insulated on one side so care should be exercised when using metal bogies in metal underframes. However it is an easy way to arrange for extra power pickup.

Unfortunately I ordered the wrong gauge for the 8mm wheels (which were on OOn3 length axles but to OOn3 gauge, not OO9). So another $20 before I get to play with the DS mechanism.
