Hi All,
Many thanks for the recommendation Ian & welcome Lornadoone2.

Yes, we will have 120mm Dia Rimmed wheels available shortly (about two weeks from now) but ... they will be 7 Float rimmed feathering wheels .. might be better for keeping the boxes from chocking but might be out of scale ... did Lorna doone not have eight floats?

Either way, your more than welcome to give me a call to discuss..
Welcome to Paddle Ducks BTW.
Regards,
Kim

I had the same trouble made a set from brass far to heavy, but managed to sale them. Them made a set from aluminium, which was easier than brass. If you look at my build Duke of Devonshire, you can see how. No special tools required. Page 4 is the start. Geoff
