Aristocraft locos & rolling stock, mid C20th to co
There is hope for the owners of track powered lil critters and other Aristo 2 and 3 axle diesel locos, eventually Stainless Steel replacement wheel sets will arrive. They were listed on the Bachmann UK web site earlyer this year as likely to be avilable from July/Aug, then Oct/Nov now December/Jan at £41.00 for a set of four. Thats quite a lot even for a critter.
I have one Critter plus an RS3and three U25bs all have wheels with varying degrees of ware. The older more worn ones definiatly have more of a problem with dirt. In desperation and dispare at the delay and the cost searching the web I came across NWSL in the States, now part of a publishing company, 16 Nickle-Silver wheels, enough for 2 U boats at 104 dollars plus £19.20 import tax, they have made a big diference.
