How many axles are you looking for?  I've got more than enough for a gondola load, so I could probably part with a few.

I can part with 8 axles (isn't that 16 wheels?) if you will pay the postage.  Priority Mail will run close to $5.  If that works for you, I'll send you my snail mail address via email.

Email me your street address and I'll see what I can do.  Don't worry about shipping costs.

I've got some boxed up for you.  Now I just need to find the time to go to the post office and ship them off to you.

I finally made the time to go to the post office.  Look for the wheels to arrive early next week, but also remember that it IS the US Postal Service doing the delivery.

I sure wish Aristo and the other companies would automatically use metal wheels.  I just replaced 16 axles of plastic wheels this week.
