need ideas locating a part, barn door rollers. Just the rollers.

[boatwrench]

I am looking for sliding barn door rollers. I located a pack of two from SS Ltd but the shipping ($7.99) is more than the actual part. I was wondering if Walther's sells these doors from their kits separately? I am guessing no; they are probably part of a sprue of several parts but thought someone here might know.

Thanks in advance.

SS Ltd is probably your best bet. Yep, shipping is expensive. I just bought decals for a project and the shipping was more than the decals. Irritating but, I needed them. You might dull the pain by looking at what else they have that you might need or use one day. Most of the people who make this kind of part are going to be small outfits, and niche manufacturers.

I was thinking maybe Grant Line may have something you could use - are they still in business?

Another shot might be Skelly - at one time they had tons of "findings" such as that?

I realize that I am peeing into the wind, but I'm old! I'll check my "junkbox"!

Maybe you could use/modify door parts from a wood boxcar.

Thanks for the responses. Grandt Line is now owned by San Juan Models. There are two different types of wood boxcar hardware available.

Any connections to someone with a 3D printer? 3D printing is perfect for these kind of details.

A search on "miniature roller bearings" turned up a number of options. This is just one, and it offers multiple sizes:
