Today, our axles for the coupled wheels arrived on site. One large box containing 2 axles, one smaller box containing one. The axles are well coated with preservative oil and cloth. Te axles are just over 1.6 metres in length and are 228 mm in diameter at the wheel seat.The axles will now go into storage until we are ready for wheel assembly. Our aim is to place and order for casting the cannon axleboxes this week.
