We bought, I think, 38 spankin new wheels last year, and, I believe, it was in a group deal with C&T and D&S, who bought many more.
If I eavesdropped correctly, the wheels we use are still made for some form of mining equipment, and so, at this point in time, still "off the shelf".
We also picked out 8 units of used wheelsets to be turned, but, last I knew (last year), it wasn't going well.
These are just ours, all slated for specific projects.
