Hello Knor & Sign - Welcome [#welcome] to the forum!  Dr.Tinker would be your Best bet For Wheels & Another gent for prewar parts is Jeff Kane at the Train Tender & he has a Website also with prompt & courteous service. Be sure to specify The Loco # underneath the cab windows in order to get the proper replacements as some Wheels may look alike.However, There are differences in diameter,axles holes,& spokes. Dr.Tinker is very particular about knowing what the part # is due to the reasons mentioned before. Do not fear. Olsen's has a list of part numbers for prewar trains & this will help you out if you contact them. Just let Sharon know the engine # & she'll let you know whether or not it is in stock. If not, Try Dr.Tinker or Jeff at the Train Tender. Take Care.

Google "toy train parts". You'll find Olsens, Dr Tinker, and some others. Good luck.
