Hi Bob; If I recall, S weathered a near total lack of wheels many years ago. The more things change...
On a brighter note, AM still lists trucks at a pretty reasonable price. That will not help with your NE trucks, but if they are just cast side frame trucks (AKA "Bettendorf"), they might be a good substitute.
