These "OO" disc wheels are approximately a scale 3ft 5in in diameter, excluding the flanges.  The wheels are metal (with an insulated axle). The wheels are suitable for use with our coach kits. The 3D printed inserts give an effective representation of a Mansell pattern wooden centred wheel.  Two axles and four 3D printed Mansell pattern inserts are included. This is sufficient for one four wheeled vehicle.   ..
