Re: Train wheels
Specifying the sizes you need likely will get more specific responses.

Re: Train wheels
Assuming you are looking for 7-1/4" or 7-1/2" gage there is RMI already mentioned. Also a few listed below.

Re: Train wheels
There you go, assuming -> where a clear definition in the original request would have been better.
It is like someone asking "does anyone know automobile manufacturers?"

Too many things going on to bother listing them.

Someone new to the hobby may not know yet what they might build, what scale, what is available or where to start.

Re: Train wheels
one of the major problems today -> lack of accurate communications.

Re: Train wheels
It's a qualified answer that might be helpful. Maybe he's 100% new and doesn't know where to start. Certainly a greater chance of being helpful than answering with a wise crack and complaints.Bill Shields wrote: ↑Tue Nov 01, 2022 6:24 am There you go, assuming -> where a clear definition in the original request would have been better.
