As many of us had hoped/suspected Craig has announced on the BLMA website his metal wheels available separately for MT trucks. In packages of 24 axles in 33" or 36".

Craig,

This is the same length as the wheels already available in your trucks, right?  Because they seem to work in MT trucks.

The wheel packs arrived yesterday and are already shipping to distributors/dealers.  My guess is most shops will have these in 2-3 weeks considering shipping times; direct orders ship immediately.

Man, this look great. I thinkthis would look great on cars that the back of the wheels are visible like tank cars and spine cars.

Yes.  I tested our 5-Unit Spine Car and PS-4000's on multiple layouts, including my N-track club at a local show.  I'm glad to report - no defects!
