Feathering Wheel Set

[derekwarner_decoy]

Hi PD's ......I have a set of feathering wheel components from Waverley models...for PS Decoy .....but am a little  :rant &  :dunno so   with the construction

There must be hundreds of modlers who have completed a Waverley wheel set  & have understood the construction method better than I have been able to......    

My first assumption was that during the flight :pig_flying  from UK to OZ  the higher temperature over the equator may have changed some component dimensions    

So .......anyone with a  :camera ...could you please send a .jpg of a completed wheel as a picture says a million words :?:

Hi PD's....here is a question for Andrew/Eddy or Hans.......in our Photo gallery we have the folder by ...ajg41..who is Andrew.....however posted by Eddy :shock: of the Dortmound 2007

One  :camera snap which I have attached is of that beautiful Modellblau ?? composite brass/bronze & wooden paddle wheel set

I have uploaded a Google translation for this WEB site but cannot locate the same composite brass/bronze & wooden paddle wheel set listed

Hans...I would ask the begging question however cannot locate an actual e-mail address for the Company apart from the AUTO send facility

If you get time, could you please ask for a direct e-mail address

Derek,
For those sort of prices you could buy a small miller and a rotary table and make as many sets as you wanted.

Methinks a little over the top.
