Post subject:  WANTED: Narrow gauge axle drawings

I am looking for drawings of 3' gauge car axles with 4x7 journals. Also, 4x7 journal boxes, bearings and bearing wedges would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

SPCRR has patterns for 3 1/2 x 6 or 6 5/8 journal box and bearing (depending on how it is measured) based on western narrow gauge practice... these are older, no wedge style.

I have a axle drawing to match (somewhere probably in that pile over there....)

There is an effort afoot here in the far west to make a 4x8 1/4 box and bearing patters set (with wedge) for some local restoration efforts.
