New 16mm Wagon Wheel Design

As of the 23rd May 2025, all kits purchased will come with our new "V2" plastic wheel design. We've designed these to better align with the 16mm association wheel standards and to ensure smoother running on a greater variety of track.

On the left: the new design. Right: the old design.

As you can see, they have a much shallower taper on the flange, and a more pronounced taper on the tread. The flange is also 1mm deeper.

Look out for a mention of these in the August edition of Garden Rail magazine, and happy steaming!
