I purchased an HO version of the roller system at the Pomona California Trains show about a year ago and really use it to break in locomotives and check out the way the sound system work. You could buy as many rollers as you wanted and I purchased eight to handle the Cab Forwards and Big Boys, but it works equally well for diesels.

The guy that was selling these had them in every scale so if you go to any major train show, you should find a booth with the product in it.

I am sorry I do not have his card as this product is excellent.

If I can find the receipt and the name of the company, I will post it.

bangert1,

...that makes 2 of us. I saw his product at that show and almost bought it. Now that I could really use it, I can't find his card either! His shop was in Nevada I think, but for the life of me, I can't remember his name. Good luck with your search.

Mike

The dealer selling them at that show may have been from Nevada, but the rollers are made by Polk's Hobbies / Aristo-Craft Trains, 698 S. 21st St., Irvington, New Jersey. They come in 3 scales -- G, O, and HO. The G scale set has an MSRP of $62.00 for 4 roller sets; O scale is $60.00, and HO are $60.00.
