I need 6 wheels from pacific steam engine from mth or Lionel, because I'm restoring another car dubas, only made in Argentina. I need this because of the size of the weels, around 35 to 37 mm. diameter. 4 wheels need to be with flange and 2 without. They need to be go throug wheels. I mean, not solid ones. They need to be 0 gauge.

Any news?
Hi There Edgardo, I think I might have what you need. You can look it up and let me know. its a power set from Rivarossi # 7201/M. Let me know.
Thank you for your answer Mike, they look really good, but unfortunate they are made on plastic, and I need on metal, but visually they look really good. Need something similar but in metal.
I'm still looking for this wheels.
I would suggest eBay; I often use it for finding parts, sometimes odd ones. Be patient; I'm sure that shipping will sometimes be a problem, but it is still a good place to try. You may have to buy a frame and remove the wheels (I've done that). The Lionel website has parts (under "Support"). Check appropriate locomotive types. I use them for parts.
The brass Williams and Weaver brands steam locos are easier to disassemble. Make sure the loco is brass, especially the Williams; their later die-cast ones won't be as useful to you.
Again, as you live out of the US - and I live in the US - I do not know how this will affect shipping.
I have this if it helps. Wheels are 34.2mm. One flanged set has traction tires.
Thanks D500, I already try ebay and purchase some trains in the past, but this is difficult to find, so I posted here.
Jon G: Can you get the wheels from the MTH Berkshire lastest models, like you a tech and have some parts. And if it could be only the wheels so less shipping to my country.
Let me check. I work at MTH Monday & Friday.
No berks, but I did find these two that might work. Let me know if you are interested and I'll get a price.
I will prefer from new Berkshire because they look nicer, but if can not be found well, I'm interested in the 35.5 mm you put in the picture. Thanks.
MTH doesn't sell wheels, just entire chassis. The only thing in stock are older chassis. Except for electronics, parts for newer locomotives are difficult to obtain.
Ok. thanks. Can you get a better picture from the 35.5 mm wheels? Because it looks like in sepia, like and old photograph.
I'll have to take one on Friday. MTH wants $65 USD for the frame with wheels. Let me know if you are still interested, then I will get a weight and estimated shipping.
Yes, I'm interested. I will wait for the pic. Also, can you check the wheels are fine, not broken, cracked, etc, because is the only i will use. Iw you want send me a PM, and we can continue there, thank you again.
I can pull the wheels, if desired. My email at MTH is jong@mth-railking.com
