Default round hole wheels

Having looked closly today at the round hole wheel I dont think it is carrier, the wheels are actually slightly smaller in diameter on the metal rims than a carrier wheel, the wheel has had end caps welded on the centre to modify it to suit the trolly it was off, so I could not see what style of bearing it had and suspect all the other wheels he has have been modified in the same way.

There are no markings on these cast steel wheels. I guess they came off something but not the style of suspention found on a carrier or any variation of it. shame really but they must be off something military?.

I knocked the bearings out of the 11 wheels I bought, a mixture of early brass bush style, british ball bearings and interestingly Canadian style of bearing in British TL wheels.

The brass ones i hope to get some money back from the scrap man.

kev.
