I hope you find one Tim, but I don't think it will be easy... any project in mind for the flywheel?

you might try PM research as they have many that are close to that size. (you will need to finish it out) FWC-S7 is a close fit.

Thx Nick and Bruce. I am going to use it on my #75 just for fun. So it’s not too important just a fun project like I saw St. Paul Steam put up one time. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

Hi Jim. I have talked to Dorita several times over the last year wanting a #55 wheel and she said they don't have any cast engine flywheels. I never asked further, I figured it was obvious-they are not turning out any more. Kinda sad.
