Driving and Bogie wheel tyres and driving wheel axles arrive in the UK

The driving and bogie wheel tyres and the driving wheel axles have arrived in the UK from South Africa. The next stage is to have them machined and fitted to the driving wheel centres and to retyre the bogie wheels which we already have. We are appealing for funds for this next stage so if you can help us raise the funds look at the appeal forms on the Support Us page of the web site for details.

The driving wheel centres and the 2 bogie wheel sets ready for assembly with the new tyres. Note the difference in the size of the 2 pairs of bogie wheels with the left hand set being significantly more worn than the one on the right, which looks as though it has had no wear at all.
