I cant see them in Reeves, Kennions or Bonds catalogues, which doesnt 
really help.

I assume they are 3.5" gauge, which makes them roughly 6'9" diam. Too 
small for a single wheeler.
They are too big for 2.5" gauge, and look too flimsy for 5".

And, four of them?

I suspect that Dave may be right.
