I found the new trucks listed for purchase on lionelsupport.com but only with highrail wheels. I cannot find the scale wheels sold separately which are necessary for these trucks as the axles are customized.

Lionel might have some of the first-run scale-wheeled trucks in stock.  They would still have to be re-gauged.

The catalog makes no mention of scale wheel conversion, so it would appear the only thing to do is locate some first run trucks.  I seriously don't think Lionel is going to offer replacement scale wheels.  I'm pretty sure they are going to let the few scalers that buy these cars to their own devices regarding wheel conversion.

Another possibility is now that Northwest Short Line is coming back online, is to see if they could make replacement wheels and for how much.
