I need a favour.
Do you have a copy of the S4Society re-issued book of Loco wheel Specs originally by Mike Sharman?
Please PM me if you have a copy and could look up one loco for me.
I can't find my copy

Re: Wheel Specificaitons
"Wheel Specifications for the Modeller" is advertised as available from the (e)stores.
The Sharman list was, I believe, updated by a former committee deputy chair (Richard) sometime after 2010 and I advised on a very small number of pre-grouping wheels.
What I am not clear about is whether this advertised book is the original or the one revised by the aforesaid committee member.

Re: Wheel Specificaitons
Mike Sharman's original has been out of print for decades.
That together with more info becoming available incentivised our Committee to produce the new edition.
I am sure the latter is what Stores sell.

From our publications page https://www.scalefour.org/publications/sharmanwheels
This revised edition has been updated, and, in the few places where errors were detected in the original, corrected.

Re: Wheel Specificaitons
Your opinion of the original will depend on your regional preference. I found several errors in the LNER/NER section so mine is buried deep under a large pile somewhere. On the other hand if it was more successful in your own region you'll think it a valuable reference.
In practice you rarely get a choice of wheel for a model but manufacturers did use it and we live with the results.
