Where to buy freight car wheel castings?
Looking at the cost of CR1018 rounds and thinking perhaps castings would be cheaper. Finished dimensions would be just shy of 4.750 at the flange. For a 1.6" ge44 ton project.

RB211,
I believe this link should work. If not, go to discoverlivesteam.com and click on the left side for sale items.
See Locomotives and click on that. Look for Mr. Motion` page and wheels are shown on Options page.

Hmm, those are cheaper than the material I was looking for, and already machined! Thanks for the link!chooch wrote:http://www.mr-motion.net/OPTION/OPTION.htm
