The set I have (two sets, actually) are made by Bachmann. I use them quite frequently for troubleshooting and "running-in" of locomotives.

I bought mine probably five years ago from an on-line seller that was having some kind of special sale so they were pretty reasonable, cost wise (less than $10/stand).

Good Luck, Ed

You want Bachmann E-Z Riders.

They are available on eBay and probably can be found elsewhere.

Mine are made by Proses, but I think they are the same as the Bachmann items pictured by others.
