Y2 2-8-8-2 Project

[NW Modeling List]

Precision Scale Co. sells spoked wheels. Their HO-31904 is a 33", 8  
spoked, flush axle, wheelset for $4.50. They do have a minimum  
purchase amount, so perhaps a number of folks could go together to  
get what they want. They have other sizes too, if I guessed the wrong  
size or type...

Speaking of wheels, I hope you can find replacements for those large  
flange drivers. They certainly are not up to the standard of your  
detailing work !

Stack is scratch built. The spoked leading truck wheels are Proto  
2000 for the USRA 2-8-8-2. The rear truck at present has a Bachmann  
solid wheel from their 2-6-6-2. I managed to acquire four sets of of  
the spoked wheels from Walthers sometime back. Used two on a Y4  
conversion and one on the lead truck of my Z1b. Does anyone know if  
Walthers sells replacement parts for their 2-8-8-2 models? I would  
like to acquire some additional sets for this as well as maybe some  
future project.
