You try Bachmann?

I am sorry to say -that if you intend to build a Heisler then you will have to make most of it yourself... Building your bogies can be done with hand tools and a certain amount of "grunt"! Your main problem will be sourcing your Universal Joints (Hardy-Spicer Joints) and the skew bevel gears for it.

Can anyone tell me where to find trucks for a Heisler? I have found un-machined wheels at Precision Scale Co, any other suppliers out there?

Thanks

Lou
