And here i am as an bloody greenhorn: - Schraddel - 07-07-2011

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"! Confused

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.
