Two suggestions, Jim.

Bill Meredith produced the C&S baggage car kits for no. 1 and 2 summer of 2023, in HO, S and O scales. The kits included etched correct 24" end brake wheels in nickel silver and brass. I've purchased extra parts from Bill in the past. There is also an etching set for the baggage door steps and underframe brake rigging.

Contact Bill at: [e-mail]. You might want to contact Bill now, while the Trump Canada tariffs are on pause. Bill's concerned that if the tariffs do come to pass, it may severely limit his business model.

Roy at Ride Trains offered the C&S combine 20 and baggage 4 last year in both HO and S scales. They included cast resin brake wheels with housings that are very nice. I've purchased extras in S scale.

Contact Roy at: [e-mail].  Be sure to put “RIDE TRAINS” in the subject line to avoid being caught by the spam filter.

Good luck, and post photos of the completed RPO when you finish it!!

 
Thanks I will check on those. I knew on the Ride Trains that he had done the baggage but assumed that the wheel was printed on one piece with the body. That might be easiest as he does have some interiors I could use. I also had the Grandt Line Sn3 C&S wheel suggested by Keith but that appears to be currently OOP at San Juan.
Thanks so much
