You can find them on the net. The parts are made by Roco and come in different sizes. They look odd when you look at them, but they will flatten out when mounted. You may have to use 2 on each wheel as I had to do. But they work and are relatively inexpensive. The shipping is the killer. But if you need other things, it is not that bad.

I have used them successfully even on Hornby Dublo (40 years old). You just need to do a bit of homework to match wheel diameters.
