Those are 24mm Binnie wheels. I also have plain disc steel wheel available.

Here it is next to a Binnie skip to give you an idea of the difference in size.

Hmmmm... that has some distinct possibilities, and not just for 7/8ths scale. It looks about the right size for a 2 cubic yard skip in SM45.

Traffic Pattern? What pattern? Spuds out; grain in, but cattle, sheep and passengers are a lot less predictable.

Here is one in the flesh with a bit of hardware added. I have just received a 7/8ths Bagnall so need to build a rake of these for the loco.
