Wheel Specifications for the Modeller by Mike Sharman published in 1978 with a second edition in 1982.
Original entries below are from the 1982 edition, Mike Sharman's philosophy was to list the wheels in the newly constructed condition wherever possible, these were sometimes changed at rebuild hence the additional information given here needs to be considered in that regard.
Additions are given in red with notes as to source.
