I am modifying some old plastic wagons and some new wheels.
However, all I can find are solid wheels and I need 6-hole 8mm disc wheels and 6.2 mm spoked
Anyone have suggestions?

Yes, they only have solid discs
Hi there,
Have you looked at Mathieson Models?

A range of wheels available - not sure how close your description of what yoiu are looking for matches though.
Thanks

They only seem to do two sizes 6mm and 7mm - I need 6.2 and 8mm
Thanks anyway, another source to add to the list
Dundas used to sell a much bigger range of wheels - spokes, holed discs, etc. - but I have a feeling their supplier (Gibson?) stopped making them, but its possible that you may be able find older stocks in model shops and the like.*
They currently sell wheels made by (or on behalf of) the Greenwich & District Narrow Gauge Railway Society and /or Mosskito, and whilst these may be 'less detailed' in being solid disc types I wonder how much of the wheel you would see from normal viewing angles / distances.
(* Try N-Brass (https://www.nbrasslocos.co.uk/fitall.html#HAND) who seem to have some 6.2 mm spoke wheels. Markits also seem to list them in their catalogue though the online one Google took me to was dated 2013...)
Thanks. I'll give that a look
