Thanks guys! So I take it there's no "50 sets for $XX" listed anywhere? I bought 4 sets the other day and had 2 sets already. Guess I'll have to put in a bigger order next time.
NWSL 172 wheelsets are $20-25 per package of 4 (is that 1 car or 4 cars? I'm guessing 1). That's 2x what the InterMountain wheelsets cost, but at least they have 36" wheels for the passenger cars.
Simon, I actually do clean my rail/wheels periodically, but not as often as I was when I had power to the rails...those days are over!
And speaking of battery power, I just saw this on BlueRails website:
Hello from BlueRail,
We are pleased to announce that a product we have co-developed with Tam Valley is nearing availability. This compact board connects to the DCC decoder of your choice to control your loco and edit CVs with your smartphone using the BlueRail app. Boards can be powered with the power source of your choice: AC, DC, DCC, and Battery, and will be available for HO all the way up to Large Scale (6 amp).
Not sure what this really means for us, since I don't know squat about DCC. I guess it means you can run a train from your smartphone and on battery if you want and use DCC.
