You guys are all right about steel wheels. Anyone know where you can get a bulk deal on them buying those little packages is breaking me!! John, you might also check out PFM for a sound system--but check your motgage credit first.

All I have ever seen are the 12 packs (enough for three cars) and at about 8 bucks a pack they do add up. Youre right about the PFM system its expensive but sounds great. I thought they stopped making them though......Mike

Scott,
I too have only seen the 8-pack wheels, but I try to buy a few each time I am in GJ . I have seen the PFM system and was very interested, but since I would have to trade my first born for it I decided to look elsewhere ...Happy Modeling!!

Try Longs Drugs as advert. in MR. Had boxes of loose wheels at good prices. Ask for Tim. If he's not there find out when he'll be there as he knows the most at the store.

One of my local stores offers a generic box of 100 (25 cars) for around $50 bucks. maybe yours offers the same.

Just make sure you get the non-magnetic metal wheels. You could have problems if you have magnetic uncouplers.
