Something unexpected from Intermountain

Now! That engenders confidence! I wonder if that would work from all the way over hear in Aussie land.    cTr...( Choose the Right )

Yes it does.

A couple of years ago I wanted some O scale Red Caboose wine tank cars that were no longer made I rang Bill Mclung  (I think I misspelled his name) at Red caboose and he had some odd parts enough to make up four kits he sent them to me they arrived there were some parts missing I rang he put them in the mail the next day.

I know that was different circumstances but he did go to the trouble of putting together the kits for me in the first place. Roo. (In West Australia)

That's great to hear. One of the things Intermountain made that I guess is still in production is their O scale wheel sets. They're great and fit Weaver and Athearn plastic trucks perfectly. I've been buying them a few sets at a time and converting Weaver cars to 2-rail. I realized yesterday that I have a small stash of Intermountain reefers and box cars I had built over the years that I had built to 3-rail that would be great to switch over since they're so nicely detailed.

Matt where's the best place to pickup those intermountain trucks, there good trucks!        cTr....( Choose the Right )      

Building cars for friends in HO and O have had great service from both Intermountain and Red Caboose with kits. Things happen and they took the time to help out.

Stephen,  You might want to contact them directly. They have a website, and I purchased some of their metal wheels not all that long ago.

I don't buy the trucks (although I did like them). I get the wheels off eBay. They're going for about $10/set now. I have a ton of Weaver cars with plastic trucks so switching them from hi-rail to 2-rail is easy in inexpensive.
