Need wheel/axle sets for freight car.

Post by PRR5406 »

Earthlings, I am in need of four wheel/axle sets to fit a set of truck castings. These need to be gauged for 7.5", with axle length of 10.75", and 7/8" o/d roller bearings. Been calling around and can't seem to locate a provider. Suggestions?

Are you looking for finished wheels and axles or do you have the equipment to machine them? I have a significant amount of wheel and axle blanks that would likely work.

Doug: I need them turned and smooth, ready to insert in the frames.
