RE: Making own rollong stock
If you check on Charles Ro's large scale catalog, in the parts section they list arch bar truck frames with cuplor [#R2030] @ $7.50 a pr. These truck are basicaly the same as bachman. No wheels included at that price but it's a start. The cheapest wheels I have found are Hartland, metal wheels, plastic axels. Paid $1 an axel around 4 yrs ago at a train show, dont know if you can still get them.
