Safe Polyurethane re: Bogie Wheels
Bruce,
Thank you for your wise words of advice regarding polyurethane. I had considered doing a "pour" but I have now opted for purchasing a 20" OD by 15" ID by 8" wide polyurethane forklift tire and I will have a local machine shop machine the OD/ID and slit it to width to fit on the bogie rim. Much safer! I hope to have the shop start on it next week. I will post pictures and an update on MLU under a new thread. Many regards, Richard.

Cheers Phill

All steel bogie wheels
Here is an image of the aft mounted single bogie without rubber, but all steel. The pair are mounted on a Mk. I*.

polyurethane
Well, I poured one wheel today with poly and it turned out OK. I got a small bubble at the filler hole,but nothing to worry about. I will pour the 2nd one tomorrow.Should be able to do a nicer job the 2nd time around.
 The cost is about $170 per wheel. Now to see how long they last.....

Rubber Rating
Over here in Oz the rubber rating is in Duros. My wheels use rubber rated at 75 Duros which is more than adequate fir Carrier wheels.
