I wouldnt get to excited tho with Happy Hobby, when I was into model cars half the stuff I ordered wasnt in they hardly update the list online. They dont take checks its basically cash and I believe Credit Cards.
Brian,
I changed all of mine to metal wheels and they are 28" wheels. I used Intermountain wheel sets on mine and they worked just fine. Most of my rolling stock has been changed to all Intermountain except the 36" wheels on passenger cars which are all PK2.

That was what I had to purchase also. They are, I think, in single packs of twelve axels. I had 35 cars to change so I just bought enough to swap the plastic wheels out. I purchased mine from e-bay a few months ago. If you like I can try and find the eBay site where I bought them and email it to you. I do not think I am supposed to post anything like that here and I do not want to have to sit on the "time out bench"all day.
I checked Brian and the place I bought them does not have any listings. There are others there that have the 28" semi scale wheels. Just type Intermountain Wheels in search and they will all list for you. The price is not bad either.
What year did these cars hit the rails back in the day.?
