A 38" cast or forged wheel sells for well under $800 in the North American market since that is a common size
What does a machined part like that sell for?

I just make the parts, not quote them. It does come down to quantity of similar parts and various machined features in pricing.

The 38" piece I machined was part of an extremely large hammer mill / grinder.

VERY old train, and very cool!

Too bad there's no sound. That would be awesome!

3571, AT&SF Northern class, 4-8-4 had spent many years as an outdoor display before it was restored. Starting point was pretty rough, but looks/runs reasonably well now.

In 1941, along with other 4-8-4s, 3751 received major upgrades including: 80-inch drive wheels, a new frame, roller bearings all around, and more. That same year, it achieved its highest recorded speed at 103 mph.
Holy crap.
