carrier wheel bearings, t16 axle brakes and sprockets

[andrew honychurch]

Interesting, I do not see any reference in the parts book of the T16 to the wheels being different, road to idler. However, looking at my idler wheels they almost look like they have been shaved down to the small diameter. It may be that it was a field mod to reduce the size for some reason?

EDIT.. apologies, the book does list a different part number for idler and road wheel!

I'm going to use some of my spare parts to build a tracked trailer along the lines of what you see pictured with the late 30's british carriers and wasn't sure how I should have the wheeled tyred, in the idler or roadwheel rubber profile. I think I'll use the idler profile if it is designed for that reason.
