Yep, That's what I have been thinking of these past couple of days. I have some robust bearings and some decent sized ali. (Apart from a base which I think I will source from the ali scrap bin at work)! All I'll need then are some robust thighs! Kind regards, Ron. |

I can just see SHMBO at her next bridge party bragging about her new 200lbs spinning wheel capable of spinning 1" thick yarn at 600RPM! :thumbup: :beer: Chazz |

You say this Flywheel is 23" diameter what is it width ?and what is the bore size? You could use this on a 6" scale Road Locomotive if the width is about 3"-4" say a Burrell or a McLaren,but you would have to build one Do you fancy that? |

I'll get back on here with this idea and the sizes. There will be some serious questions asked once I plan/collate them! I have always liked the thought of making a McLaren engine as I used to work for the F1 team McLaren! From one extreme speed to the other!! Kind regards, Ron. |
