From: Alan Lambert John, Keep looking you will find one. There are some good mini lathes that might be good. track is not a problem for me. I use S-Helper sectional and Flex track to cover both of my ventures. Hang in there. thanks, Alan

If I'm ever able to get myself a metal lathe of some sort... one of high enough quality to do such work, I plan to make my own replacement, code 88 'tires' for any steam engines I ever own. I am also spearheading the revival of production of code 88 wheels for S scale from NWSL. Still no word of progress on that project though...
