wheelshape to run on top of a circular rail?

a pair of circular pipes exists, running in parallel.
I wish to use them as tracks for a small railcar.
where to buy wheels, whose "tread" surface is a semi-circle of the
right size to fit over the pipes? very low speeds in this cargo
application, friction-caused efficiencies should not be an issue.
Or must they be made up by a shop on a custom order?
Try doing a Google search for "concave rollers".
Here's one example:
