23 What engine would these wheels have come off?
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...psfmlaopcp.jpg

Nice to see Black Jack nearly finished.

Can anyone shed any light onto the Gold Medal with pneumatic tyers?

I'm interested in the size of the tyers, how the hub fits the wheel, the reason they have been fitted and when they were fitted.

This may seem a tryful rude, but the reason I'm asking is that my engine was fitted during its working life whith pneumatic front tyers aswell.

I have a picture of it taken in the 40's and they were fitted then so it was a working day thing. They had to move the perch forward to give them extra clearance. The engine went back to Burrell to have wider rear's with solid rubber tyres too prior to this.

I believe a spare front wheel was carried within the back wheel during its working day.

As also noted above great to see "Black Jack" back on her wheels again... lovely old engine and an old favourite. I see she has lost her very distinctive and wide brass chimney top.

How're they getting on with the very interesting Fowler tractor thats there?

what sort of dia are the wheels in last pic

The blow up tyres on the Burrell are 40x8s, I can't comment about the hub as I don't know.

I would say they were around 6ft .

Wheels in last pic are off a BB1, Boiler is within the yard aswell.
