What is this old wheel brick? Wheels are also available in about the half size. They have metal axles.

1The question seems to be more about the wheels than the center brick. I'm guessing that Kurbo assumed it was one part, and not an assembly. – chicks Jun 06 '20 at 17:00

@chicks I disagree, because how are you supposed to know if the wheels have metal axles without taking them apart? Still, I admit that this is not exactly a duplicate. But this question has already been smashed 2 times with a dupe-hammer anyways. – mindstormsboi Jun 06 '20 at 17:19

1I did assume that they were always bundled together - I didn't think that they would have separate part numbers. – Kurbo Matematikon Jun 07 '20 at 10:49

Yes, it is. Early 1960's a British consortium with new Lego parts, 2 size of wheels, turn-table & towbar. The axle bricks contains Nylon tubes, these hold wheel axle & as not fixed can turn. 1st have red underside, then came with clear there, see red tube across & black at ends. – Andrew Hodson Feb 14 '23 at 14:30

There are some variants registered on bricklink, but judging by the name and the presence of the brick in the middle, I guess the closest is: Wheel with 12 Studs and Axle Cam with Light Gray Tire Smooth - Large (715a / 36)
The small version you mention is probably: Wheel with 4 Studs and Axle Cam with Light Gray Tire Smooth - Small (7039b / 132-old)

That was mostly why I went with a variant with the axle. – Henrik supports the community Jun 07 '20 at 07:47

Henrik covered wheels, so I'll just mention the brick used to attach these - Brick, Modified 2 x 4 with Wheels Holder, Trans-Clear Bottom
As noted on Bricklink there could be some variations of this brick:
Several versions of this brick exist. Bush colors have been reported as red, black, milky white, and mixed colors, as well as a version missing the middle bush.
