Where to get trailer tires?

Piperman · 04-01-2008, 06:32 PM

I am using Norbtachs web pages to print off truck trailer bodies on cardstock and glueing over blocks of wood to form the trailers.
I don't like the look of the cardstock tires.
I'm not talented enough to scratch build the tire assemblies.
Is there somewhere you can buy 1:87 scale tires and wheels or the whole undercarriage? A Canadian supplier would be handy.

This is my first post so I hope it goes okay.

You could try hotwheels and the like, but I don't know if that is much better.

Or you could try these:
Walthers Model Railroad Mall -- product information page for 116-50106
