I REBUILD GILBERT ERECTOR SETS AND WAS INTERESTED IN THE FEW TRAINS GILBERT USED IN HIS ADVANCED SETS. I BOUGHT MY FIRST GILBERT 420 LOCOMOTIVE. I BELIEVE A 1939 A.F. BUILT. AS WITH MANY TRAINS I SEE OF THE ERA THE TRUCK WHEELS ARE MADE OF A POT METAL THAT DECOMPOSED OVER TIME. I DO NOT CLAIM TO BE AN EXPERT I AM LOOKING FOR A SOURCE TO BUY THE TRUCKS WITH WHEELS AND THE WHEELS THEM SELF. THANKS
