Yes, great content. Some users of F/S 00 gauge would find this useful too. All I need to do now is 1/ get a mini lathe and 2/ learn how to use it.......Although, seriously, now you have demonstrated how easy it could be, I might take the plunge. Thanks, always find your posts interesting.

As someone who intends eventually to convert to EM this is very useful. Even some of my recent Heljan OO loco's struggle on Code 75 track so a visit to the wheel lathe might be required...

You make it look so easy...well done as I believe that others will follow in your foot steps ??

It is very useful to see videos of EM conversion.

Very interesting, enjoy your channel and Web site 👍 Cheers Richard

I liked the video and I have subscribed, thanks for that. As I don't have access to a lathe and the axles are clearly not 1/8" or 3mm diameter I am doubting if I could convert to P4 although Alan Gibson does do 3'-11" wheels which, at a pinch would do.

In my naivety, I had assumed that you just altered the back to back. Still it seems eminently doable.

Great video, keep them coming!

Hi, I'm not modelling in EM but OO but still love seeing your layout and videos, they are all very interesting, so yes please, can we see the reassembly of the little Class 11. I must say I always thought to regauge the wheels for Em you just moved them out a bit on the axle, shows what I know! Oh what are your thoughts on this new shunter, they do look very good, and I am a big Heljan Diesel fan, they seem to work well for me, and pull anything.............But could I use a Diesel shunter? All the best and thank you Dave.

Very useful video. I'm sure Mr Seymour at Alan Gibson could soon make up a pack of replacement wheels, axles: extended and the outside cranks. He does scale four foot driving wheels in his catalougue. All the other piece of info needed would be the axle size, is it 3mm on this loco? Please do a second video putting all the wheels and other bits back together.

Since you do a lot of wheel work in a small lathe, can you recomend a good one for a beginner to conversion work? Do you have a part 2 to the conversion of the class 11 ready to view yet? Thank you for posting this useful video.

May I ask where you got the mandrels from? I normally make these myself from brass stock for each size of wheel I'm going to machine but yours seem to be commercial available products.

Further to me comment below, would it be possible for you to put a micrometer/caliper across the axles to say what diameters (plural) they are? I'm wondering if they could be made up using brass tube or if the stepped axles retailed by the EMGS would do the job,
