For all you guys waiting for these wheels, it seems like the wheel inserts for our present sets # AO-1001 & AO-1002 (bell ringer) have been lost at the previous caster in Arkansas.    We were going to adapt a rim ring to the existing mold, to make the wrap-a-round style, but for now at least, it doesn't exist anymore.   We do have about 25-50 sets each left of our AO-1001 & AO-1002. When they are gone, that's it.  a new mold price is $10,000.00 plus inserts. Not going to happen in my life time.  

Sorry,  Harry

Harry,

I'm restoring a 1931 AF #3300 loco and need a set of these wheels (I want to buy 2 sets). But I am not seeing them (AO-1001) on your website under M.E.W. - A.F. O Gauge.

I do see AO-1000 & AO-1002. Also, (I think) the AO-1002 is the larger wheel that fits the (after 1931) AF large locos, like 3322. I need the smaller AO-1001 wheels with the rim crimped over flange, like the wheels used on the Zephyr locos.

My calipers read about 1.20 on the wheel and 1.48 on the flange.

Please hold me 2 sets of 4 wheels if you have them. I don't have a bell ringer on this project, but put me down for 1 set of each type and maybe my next will be a ringer.

Should I call? I am a regular customer with account.
