Model Wheels for Horse-Drawn Vehicles

     The wheels are the most difficult part to make for your model horse drawn vehicle. If you decide you do not want to make your own, I have a few sources for wheels. Prices will depending on how authentic you want your wheels to look and what materials that are used to make them. The wood wheels are hand cut and assembled. Minimal sanding will be needed before being stained or painted.
    The other wheels below are plastic and composition type wheels. I keep a few of these wheels in stock - large orders may require two weeks to fill. 

Small wood wheels made in USA  by Dale Brown S/h is $5 for one set or two.

These are about 1 1/2 inch and 2 inch diameter wood wheels. The spokes are not set into the felloes but for this price you can have a nice set of a buggy wheels without the headache of making them. These are 1/8 inch wide rims

DB 1/8" small-  Set of 4 wheels as shown $20.00  S/h Priority $5

You can now order these wheels in any combination of sizes for $5 each + s/h

A slightly larger set of wheels about 2 1/2 inch and 3 inch diameter, 1/8 inch wide rims

DB 1/8" large - Set of 4 wheels as shown $20.00 s/h $5 Priority.

You can now order these wheels in any combination of sizes for $5 each + s/h

These wood wheels are now available by Dale Brown  in 3", 4", 5" and 6" sizes. The 3" are made a little different than the ones above.
