Rich, I think these must be very early carrier wheels which had the early style bronze bearings fitted?, I can't think what else they came off, they came with a carrier I bought from RR services. See attached picture, I assumed they came from Canada but they might of been sourced from the uk and sold with the carrier.

Default Vickers wheels

Several people have contactedme and advised these are vickers wheels, there is a vehicle on page 14 vol1 in Nigel's book. Found this pick on the net also which appear to show the same wheels.

Default Wheels.

Hi, don't think they are Nodwell, I have four of them, they all have good rubber.

Anyone need them for a vickers restoration, otherwise they might end up on a living history trailer or something similar.
