GWR 35T Retank Wagon

[Easterner]

Good Evening All,

I'm just sitting through my collection of unbuilt kits which need wheels, and in my collection I've found an old Connoisseur Models kit for a 35T RecTank Wagon.

The instructions are a little vague and wondered if anyone could advise what size wheels they would have been? At a guess from the drawing in the kit I would guess they're 2' 9" 8 Spoke wagon wheels but wondered if somebody could confirm?

Thanks
Josh

You are probably correct, Josh, but I'd give Jim a call at Connoisseur. Might be worth a look on line first, though, in case there are any updated instructions there.

The photo on page 58 of Great Western Wagons Appendix by J.H. Russell confirms that they had 8 Spoke wheels. Unfortunately no indication of diameter.
