I am planning to build a 1:22.5 G scale Brill Model 55 railcar such as ran in the USA and in South Australia. The bogies have 37mm diameter wheels and the axles are spaced 90mm apart.
First question is, does anyone know of any supplier who does wheels this big?
I plan to fabricate both bogies using 3D printing. The non-powered one is easy in that I just have to fit the wheels. However the powered bogie is more difficult. Does anyone know of any motor/gearbox/wheels units around which I can build the powered bogie. The Aristocraft and USA Trains power bogies have wheels which are much too small.
Any ideas please?

Peter Lucas
