[Locolines]

Hi, can anyone give me any info on this set of cast iron wheels and axles ?

purchased from a local craft centre.

the only clue is 442 cast into the wheels

WHATS the distance between the wheels it look like the front set of a four wheeled trolley like the ones used years ago on railway stations for luggage

[Locolines]

It's about 4 feet, but seem too heavy duty to be the railway ones, although I maybe wrong

[Willyslancs]

we have some similar , very heavy ours were railway ..........

THE reason l asked is we found several four wheeled trolleys when we moved in to the museum they were marked LNER

and had been used in the tannery for moving hides on l think trolleys like this were used by many companies including farmers were l grew up to take milk churns to the road side
