Inside crank axles request.

Postby Horsetan » Wed Jun 30, 2010 10:32 am

Probably a bit of an odd request, but does anyone know where I might be able to get inside crank axles made? I would ideally like to have them for the following engines:

LNE J27
SR Q1
SECR "C".

Cranks would be at the normal 90-degrees, offside leading, with the crank throws themselves broadly matching those on the driving wheels. The axle ends themselves would be the usual 1/8" diameter.

Any pointers, leads to people who might be able to undertake such work, etc. would be much appreciated.
That would be an ecumenical matter.

Martin Finney does DIY inside crank kits. I think they're all 12" throw.

Thanks, Russ. Yes, I have a couple of those already. Useable on the Q1, not tried on "C" yet, but throw is definitely too big for the J27, hence this request.
