Sorry my fault :oops: ,

Gorgeous looking wheels, but at that price I don't think I'll be rushing out to buy a set, unless someone is feeling generous and wants to buy me some?  :gift

Title: Lovely

Thanks for sharing Hans, these look too good to paint up. If I were fortunate enough to own a set I'd have them as a working exhibit on my desk. They are truly a master-piece.

cheers

Are they gold plated- hence the price tag?

Really nice looking wheels though.

Very Very nice wheels Hans but at 1200 euros I can't afford them either :!:   Anyway what is a euro :?:  I'm still getting £1 NOTES when I'm in Scotland :)   Maybe they're worth more that £1 in the rest of Europe :P

An absolutely beautiful piece of model engineering. Elde-Modellbau will be exhibiting on Stand 2002 at Dortmund next month so I'll be taking a close look. Not buying though - even at the current exchange rate of 5 Euros to £1 Scottish! lol. Like Jim I think they're too nice to use - better on display just like the ones in museums.
