The 567 Loco Group has placed an order for four 6ft 9? diameter driving wheel castings for the new-build Great Central Railway (LNER) D7 4-4-0 No. 567, in the next stage of construction. The group has carefully considered various alternatives for the work, taking into consideration risk, price, schedule and quality. The result of their deliberations was a decision to source all four driving wheel castings from the Trefoil Steel Co Ltd, Sheffield, the same source that the group used for the bogie wheels. The group and the manufacturer have resolved the details for the acceptance criteria, and Trefoil has already started trial pours on the pattern. This process will ensure that the wheels will be of the quality required for the locomotive’s future use, which will only be on preserved lines. They is also some reports saying the construction of the locomotive could be moving to CTL Seal at Sheffield in Yorkshire soon.
