Hi I am building a 5 inch gauge Simplex 0-6-0. The build book has nothing on quartering the wheels so I have a few qustions. I understand that one side is 90 degrees behind the other. Is there a convention that the right or left side leads? What would be the best grade of locite to use and how much clearance should I leave? Is there a simple jig design for doing this? I have been told that if I use locite then I should also fit a pin axially. Doing this with a cast iron wheel and steel axle would the drill tend to wander off into the softer cast iron? and would 3 to 4 mm diameter be Ok. I have acces to most of the post war ME's so if there are any articals on all or some of this I would be very happy to know where? thanks for reading
