The Loyd wheels are the same as U.C wheels. I thought Windsor wheels were the same. Are they wider?

windsor wheels and track horns are wider, if anyone is struggling for wheels i might be able to help as i've got 25 now and 4 more possibles at my local firestation (plant pot). it makes me laugh to think of all the times i've driven passed those wheels at the firestation and not noticed them before.

no buddy they are wider usually you find the rubber lasts alot better on them too. if you find them you can turn them down to fit in universal tracks...but it seems a shame to those who may have windsors and might need wheels.

Default Carrier bogies?

Eddy

I've seen those carrier track bogies being used. I can't remember what there for. I know i have a picture somewhere, I'll try and dig it out.

They are war time and quite rare.
