I know of no web sites on the net. I do know that kibri makes HO hy-rail vehicles along with custom finnishes. CF has hy-rail wheels for light duty trucks,such as pick ups.

What are you trying to make ? Maybe I can help. I have a yahoo group that
I own and we talk about all sorts of rail related custom vehicles.Below is a link to my yahoo group.

bachmann is coming out with them soon, check their web site and you can even look at pre production photos.

I saw those. I want to get the stepvan and the Hy-rail pickup.

Bachmann has made a van & a MOW school bus in hi-rail. They were poor runners (no weight & only 4 wheel pick-up on a short wheelbase) but could make it through a switch at about 95 scale mph! Makes interesting scenery though.

Their new ones should be somewhat better, they have a heavy metal frame rather than plastic, and all wheel drive. I saw and inspected some test models at this year’s Narrow Gauge Convention in Durango, CO. Lee Riley of Bachmann was a speaker at one of the events and passed around the samples.
