There are other choices for 0.088 wheels in bulk !! I bought several bags from Moloco last year and they are good looking (front and back), blackened wheels. I think the change in IRC policy may be due to the change in management - Frank retired. Tim O'Connor On 4/25/2020 7:13 PM, Andy Miller wrote:

They won't sell them one at a time, but I expect they'd be open to a business proposition from someone to buy them in bulk for resale.

That's just plain stupid. Even if it doesn't generate enough grickles for them, its at least a good customer service value added move that always attracts more customers. Oh, well, we'll have to look elsewhere. Rob Manley

Actually, I believe it to be more of a management decision. Frank Angsted has just about reduced his contributions to near zero, and his son is currently listed as the president. I remember when the best company for their parts policy used to be Atlas. They have slowly ratcheted back their parts offering, and unavailable parts seem to out number the available ones. The Intermountain bean counters probably said that the return on investment did not justify the commitment. Sad loss, as they had many useful parts which will be missed. -Andy Carlson Ojai CA

Caboose Stop Hobbies in Cedar Falls Iowa has several sandwich bags of Intermountain parts sprues. They really don't know what they are so a photo of which you're looking for would help. I don't know the price...
