anybody in the mid West have a source for 6"-10" wheels. I bought from Grand Scale Parts before but they seem to be gone now.

Re: Wheels Wheels Wheels
At least a couple dozen 8" not picky on the design. Might make or buy a pattern because shipping $$$$$ but i have a loading dock to ship to.
Thanks

John, is the price you quote for the pattern itself, or per wheel?
Thanks

Re: Wheels Wheels Wheels
That's the price for the pattern. You would have to find a foundry that has a 12 x 12 cope and drag.

Re: Wheels Wheels Wheels
