Steam Drivers !

Ben Fleskes (PNLTC) has done it! Big Ben Bricks (BBB) presents custom LEGO compatible 9v train driver wheels.
A link to the Sneak Peek gallery of pictures from the first run of the BBB drivers appears below. The wheels are ~3.75 studs (~1-3/16, ~3cm) diameter at the tread and ~4.6 studs (~1-1/2, ~3.7cm) diameter at the flange edge. There is a cross axle hole in the center and a rivet hole 1 stud off center. The tread and flange size and shape are similar to standard 9v wheels.
After the first prototypes are tested, Ben will be selling these in early December 2003 (www.BigBenBricks.com). He plans to make these available in four colors; black, dark gray, gray and red. There are also plans to include design notes to help the buyer get up and running quickly.
Ben is a mechanical engineer and has been modeling LEGO trains since 1996. He has pioneered many pure LEGO solutions for steam drivers, and has been thinking about and designing variations of these custom wheels for several years. These new drivers are an injection-molded part made from ABS plastic and manufactured in Portland, OR.
Check out the Sneak Peek Gallery to see these wheels in greater detail.
