Default Bogie Wheel Re-rubbering

I have come across this company in Toowoomba that can do re-rubbering of vintage / military bogie wheels.

Just would like to know if anyone has used them and is the quality up to a good standard?

What are they like price wise?

Hi Stew when I first got them done they were a bit over $300 AUST each since gone up a bit in price, dale had a few done in recent times , i think that they would now be about $320, but well worth the money sure makes the carrier look good I always had them done and fitted new old stock track, it completes the restoration, and after all you only ever do it once, regards Ron

Default $300 Australian = $300 Canadian?

Hello Ron,
So $300 Australian is pretty close to $300 Canadian - correct? (Plus shipping)
Do you know if they are polyurethane or are they rubber?
Regards, Richard

Hi Richm,Yes the rate of exchange is about the same, they are rubber, and a first class job,, by the way I have dozens of wheels here, 5 and 6 spoke, they will get re done when I need them Regards ron
