By cast do you mean metal sideframes?
If so, Kadee makes some archbar and Bettendorf. List price is about $6.00. However, they are coil spring, not leaf spring like a lot of tenders and cabeese. Also, they have plastic axles and metal wheels, so you would need wipers to get power from the tender.
On-Trak has metal side frame archbar trucks, but they have plastic wheels. About $6.00/pair list price.
Cal-Scale makes brass "tender" trucks but they are Andrews or USRA. They list at about $21.00 a pair. Andrews look similar to Bettendorf, but not exactly the same.
These items were in the last couple of Walthers catalogs. I'm sure you can get better prices at several of the online stores.
Hope this helps, good luck.
