@Don Merz 070317 posted:Uhhhh...this kind of thing can only happen to me I think...I bought a nicely detailed K-line 2-6-6-6 Virginian Allegheny (K3799-0903W). It was lightly used when I got it and I did not run it for months after receiving it. And when I did, I discovered that one of the wheelsets in the trailing truck was missing--flat out gone. I looked up the loco online, found a CTT review--and doggone it if the reviewer didn't say that one of his trailing-truck wheelsets fell off the engine as he tried to test it!
The review also said that this was a "scale" engine--scaled to 1/58th scale! It seems that instead of selective compression, K-line decided to just scale the whole engine down to get a 2-6-6-6 that would handle tight curves. Looking online, I found no K-line wheels in 1/58th scale (big surprise!).
The engine of course, runs fine without the wheelset. But sheesh...c'mon...
Anyone know where I can get a 1/58th scale wheelset for this thing? Or another way to match up the odd wheel size to get a wheelset? All help gratefully appreciated.

Essentially you are wanting to buy the wheel set for this locomotive thus this post has been moved to want to buy. PLEASE help us by posting in the correct category that best accomplishes the main topic.
