Precision Engineered Components
High precision components are used that have been manufactured by Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine tools.
The demanding tolerances achieved result in exceptionally smooth operation and running.
Well sprung suspension
Sprung suspension absorbs impacts caused by running over joints in the rails, points and crossovers.
The sprung suspension also allows for a more equal distribution of weight on the wheels.
Spring loaded couplings
Spring loaded in both tension and compression the cushioned couplings reduce the issues that are caused by impact between rolling stock.
The sprung couplings also provide much smoother acceleration and braking.
High precision bearings
High precision bearings are at the end of each axle and these ensure the wheels keep turning easily with a minimum of friction.
The total runout of the wheels is less than 0.0001".
Runout to this high standard will result in reduced wear to track, wheels and bearings.

1. The Wheels and Braking System
Wheels
All our wheels have curled spokes and are machined from solid billets of heat treated high tensile steel. They are secured to axles, conforming to 7¼" Gauge Society wheel standards.
The wheels are pressed on to the axles with an interference fit and locked in place by our own unique design
feature which guarantees there is no possibility of the wheels ...
Technical Information
2. With a baseplate manufactured from black anodised aluminium, the design of our chassis is unique to our company. This design ensures that all tractive and compressive forces are transferred via the couplings and through the chassis.
Each chassis is identified with a unique serial number, laser engraved on an enamelled plate. This plate is mounted on the brake pivot block.
We use only the finest quality bearings on our rolling stock with each being ...
