I consulted with my colleagues at EFHC and I also posted a query to the NAWCC discussion forum regarding the best way to repair this wheel. The almost unanimous view was that it would be too risky to try a repair, and for safety&#8217;s sake a new wheel \u00a0should be cut. I&#8217;ve now cut a wheel blank from 1\/8 in CZ120 brass and I&#8217;ll shortly be marking out the wheel and cutting the teeth. I will make the spokes a little wider for strength, and I will also add a thicker portion where the click will be attached.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been a little concerned about the condition of the great wheel on the going train barrel.
