[CBQ] O Scale Wheels

[John Manion <railbass@comcast.net>]

I have two San Juan Car Co O scale D&RGW Fowler outside-braced box cars
which I will be assembling in the near future.   I prefer to equip all of my
wood and plastic cars with metal wheels for performance, and the Fowler box
cars, built 1916, used 33" wheels with ribbed backs.   I have been trying to
find some for quite some time without success.   Today I looked into a PSC
catalog at Caboose Hobbies, per the suggestion of Dave Rygmyr at NWSL, and
found a set of O scale 36" cast brass wheels with ribbed backs (PSC
#A481).   Caboose did not have them, and Art called PSC, who told him that
they were no longer in production and not available from PSC.   I am hoping
that someone from RGMHS or BRHS might have two sets they would be willing to
sell.   Please contact me at railbass@comcast.net if you have any of these
wheels or know of a source for such wheels.   Thanks in advance.
