You would have to pay shipping or pick up. One set (eight wheels mounted on four axles) represents wheels about 20" in diameter (3 3/4 actual inches)and the other (eight wheels mounted on four axles) about 18" in diameter (3 1/4 actual inches). The treads are two different widths but wide for 1" scale track. They represent many hours of work.

Mike Fox replied:Bernie,
How heavy would you estimate the total weight to be?
Mike
bperch replied:The total weight is 55 pounds. They could be shipped in four one price priority boxes for about $10 a box. If you are serious, I could get an exact price. The post office is the best fway for me.
Bernie
Mike Fox replied:Thanks Bernie.
Just wanted an Idea in case I or someone else wants them. I don't have anything like that yet but there is always a time to start.
