Due to a non paying buyer, I have decided to use the whitemetal parts from an I P engineering kit and make a similar model
It will be 16mm scale running on 45mm track.
So first attempt at a scratch build and would appreciate some advice on what diameter axles ?
I have turned up the four wheels and now need to bore them, hence the question.
Thank you

Depending on the size, generally 3mm or 1/8th, if you have either size axle the choice is yours Some including me go for 4mm or 5/32 on loco's so thats another option.
