Lots of things on the go at the minute but here are some genuine Foster traction wagon wheels that still are as they left the factory. Seems the are postbox red and then a white line inside the front spokes and then black past that with the hubcaps.
Spokes look interesting but need to clean a few more to see how they look.

Workshop Wednesday nights means we work on our own stuff. Little front pin knocked up for the 6β Foden. Just a slot to mill for the front clip π
Plasma cutting a repair ring for a smoke box. 6mm steel, cuts like butter.
Probably need to increase the cutting speed a little but other than that itβs nice and clean.
2 minutes to set up and then just ideas go!

The Druck is part of European Power Systems range of gas turbine calibration equipment.
