Bill: First off, before anything else, your new reefer is great.
Next, you're right, the $1.00 per axle wheelsets have gone the way of sealing wax, Dodo Birds and even the late, great PRR. Honest politicians, however, never existed, at least that I can recall. There,s certainly nothing wrong with the wheelsets available today, other than being a little pricey, which can put a serious damper on my efforts to Beat the Recession, as spelled out by Jeff Madden in the latest issue of NASG Digest. I just wonder if it isn't possible to manufacture a lower price wheelset on the order of the old Miller RP-25 wheelsets, or the Ace steel wheelsets (with both blunt and needle-point axles, if that's what it would take from the days of yore. My situation is such that I could not take on such an undertaking, but I thought I would put the word out to see if there's anyhing our current manufacturers could do in this area,maybe offering them in packs similar to Kadee. In fact, the NASG is always looking for something to do for the membership. Is this something they could handle? I have to quit,now, since my typing dexterity is going from bad to worse. In closing, however, I would like to point out that Kadee HO-T-1 coil springs are a close representation of the Ace springs, maybe a little softer, which ought to make them excellent performers on an S scale layout. Their #637 truck springs also work in N'eastern trucks, even though a little fidgety to install. My basement floor is littered with them. boB Nicholson ____________________________________________ --- In [email protected], "Bill Lane" <bill@...> wrote: > > If you want quality wheelsets here they are! > http://www.sscaleloco.com/Stainless_Steel_Wheels.htm > > > > $1.00 per axle has gone the same way as sealing wax, the Dodo bird and > honest politicians! > > > > I cannot think of a better way to show support to a fellow S Scale > manufacturer.
