Hi Rich and all.
Re urethanes,we are involved in the shoe/boot trade,urethane used as footwear sole making material has a limited life span,like 6/7 years before it starts to crumble and break down(hydrolises(?)) ,There are some life extending additives available now maybe out to 12-14 years......So ask around of the companies offering retiring about how long the material can be expected to last . Point 2 .In the shoe trade when the chemicals mix they give off a highly Toxic substance and at that point they must be handled with extreme care .The mixing and storage point are in a special sealed room to protect workers.The stuff is carcenogenous. We have heard of a service engineer dying of Cancer from limited exposure to the material. So please if you plan to do this at home do lots of research on the material we want you all to live to a ripe old age ,and especially keep your family away if you insist on pressing on with home mixing. Best Regards, Bruce.

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.

Rich I would be interested to see how successful it is using off the shelf forklift tyres and modifying them to fit
Cheers Phill

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.....
