7-1/2" gauge wheel set prices.

Post by ironhorseriley »

Hello everyone. Does anyone know who sells the least expensive machined / assembled 7-1/2" gauge wheel sets? I just need conventional sized freight car diameter wheels. I was shocked that I just got a quote from Cannonball at $113.00 for one wheel set (2 wheels & one axle with bearings). Last time I checked their on-line listing, Cannonball was at $65 & Plum Cove was $80.
