I can confirm 112s have cast-iron wheels.

Modelling is still having to take second place to the garden. However, the current construction of a sleeper-built fence has reached its final length of 50 cm, not quite 20”:
I still need to add the horizontal wooden rails. These will have to wait until I order some more small size walnut strips. I have however mounted the sleepers on their backing piece which will space the fence a few mm off the wall at the back of the layout:
Referring back now to post #973 and the size of passenger and staff figures. Below is the relevant section from a Bassett-Lowke catalogue I have which says it is ‘Reprint, March 1929’. In other words, in terms of its contents, this is the 1928 season catalogue.
Sets 1 and 2 are Britain’s figures, 1:32 scale. For many years, these were the only size available. But recognising that 0 gauge had become by far the most popular scale, finally correct size figures were introduced. I cannot say for sure the 7 mm scale figures were first offered in 1928. Catalogue entries stating that something was ‘new’ or ‘a great improvement on last year’s model’ often remained unchanged for years.
