Just purchased second hand:





And this stuff was also included:

The price readable on the sheet is not the price i had paid for. The lathe is two years old and has only run app. 25h.

So, You think you just bought a lathe.....noooo, you bought a vast panorama of new "learning curves"! hock:

The emotion I'm feeling, it's, it's, yesssss, that's it, ENVY

Have fun with your "new toy", and when you can, show us what you have made with it.

Soooo jealous!

[Schraddel]

My first attempts:


An old rather coarse Märklin Tin-Plate wheel. On right the original apperance, on the left the turned wheel


From Tin Plate to similar RP25/88
The flange depth was reduced from 1.4mm to 0.6mm
The tire width was reduced from 3.2mm to 2.2mm
Also i turned on the back of the wheel the rear of the spokes. Thus reducing the depth of the spokes and creating a finer appereance.
The counter balance weight looks now right when it is now outside the wheel rim.
