installing them yourself should not be that difficult assuming we are talking about Athearn
but if you are determined to need help I would think just about any experienced modeler would be of as much help as a hobby shop. If you belong to the NMRA perhaps your Division has a "help" service for beginners.

You can buy them in bulk for $48/100 sets from DLA at DLA-ho.com

Installing them is really easy. It takes less than a minute for most cars.

Correction the website is www.dlaho.com. He does not have the wheelsets listed on his site, but if you call him at the 800 number listed on his website, he'll take your order.

By the way, I swapped out the wheelset on a dozen or so cars last night. The whole process took less than 20 minutes.
