Looking for any info on Bachrus roller test stands. I saw one and was impressed. Looking at the site (in foreign language) it is not for a roller stand. Anybody know anything about this company or where I can get a stand. I believe they were based in Canada.

Bachrus seems to be out of business.
A used roller stand may show up on Ebay if you do a saved search for them.
I will likely just build one using cheap roller bearings and a homemade 3d printed support frame.
We are claiming to be modelers not just consumers of model trains.

That is what I had concluded but was hoping they weren't. I have one and I honestly have to admit it is superb. Was looking for a second one for a friend. Thank You though. Also was looking on YouTube for video and there is one for HO.
I bought some extra roller bases from an old OGR advertiser called Collectors Choice Trains out of Kansas. I don’t know if he’s still in business. His website is still running.

Make your owen.
My large dynamic test stand made back in Sept. 2006.
With Pennsy S1 which is longer than a Big Boy. My Centipede fits also with lead trucks hanging over.
In 2015 made a Smaller one.
Use JAK rollers. Here are both stands with carrying case to be able to take to shows.
My design allows for all engines to be tested at max speed.

He's still in business!!
I made one with two levels, this allows me to put the locomotive on rollers and connect Lionel IR tethers to the tender and operate normally. It also has an uncoupling track located in the center to test operating cars. Switches for power on the upper and lower track segments, and a 2-rail/3-rail switch so I can do 2-rail testing on rollers as well.
These are pretty simple to build and will simplify bench testing.
Looks good, simple is never a bad idea.
