NWSL wheel set replacement for Athearn diesels

  by Kevin MacDowell
 
Does anyone have the cross-reference for NWSL #7142-4 wheel set? It looks like they have replaced their nickel-plated sets with solid nickel-silver. I checked their web site but it is not real usable... lots of .pdf's and no search capability.

I want to replace 42" wheel sets on standard Athearn diesels based on the Railmodel Journal article from Robert Higgins, October 1990 (reprinted in the book "Tuning & Upgrading Athearn Locomotives).

And if you know of a decent place to buy wheel sets on-line on-line, I would appreciate that information too.
