If anyone decided to make these I would definitely commit to many sets. I have at least 10 AF steamers I'd like to convert, a combination of styles. Have to dig into storage to get an exact count but probably at least 20 axles of large and 8 or 16 axles of the smaller diameter ones. They have been in storage for a while and I don't exactly remember what all is there, some mine, some older son's. Younger son has his at his house.
