Pete,
There has been a lot of correspondence about this in recent issues of the Gauge 0 Guild Gazette. I'll read them again and come back to you with a summary. I don't know of any N/S wheels on the market, but I could be wrong.
My own guess is that Slaters have had a bad batch of steel - very unfortunate for them if true, because none of my wheels have ever rusted. How dry is your railway (or workshop), and have you been soldering near the wheels with an acid flux?
Cheers, Ian.
