Default Concerning Details

HI

As Hanno mentioned there was a Wheels & Tracks article on this drive system as I remember a very interesting one.

Next question, are back issues of Wheels and Tracks old issues still available?

Cheers Phil

Yes, of course.

Your first helper - E-Bay (see an example):

Actually, £100 for all 75 issues is a bargain. The cover price when originally published ranged from £1.75 (issue 1) to £3.25 (issue 74, there was no cover price on issue 75).

Stew,

It made use of bevel gears. Attached goes a picture of the last remaining TRADO wheelset.
