Repair of HOn3 Shay

[Ironhorseman]

I have an old Westside Lumber Company
#8 three truck Shay in HOn3. The universal joint between the locomotive and the tender broke from negotiating a very tight curve. Does anyone know were I might find a replacement universal unit, or can anyone suggest a way to repair the old one? Any help I can get will be greatfully appreciated. Thanks.

Be sure to identify the subject as HOn3 or something else to do with railroading because I might delete it without reading it if I think it's spam. I look forward to hearing from you.

Good Morning,
I guess that I flunked Communication 101 in my last post. I reread it, and it is confusing. What I was waiting for is the e-mail address of the person that may have a fix for you. His handle is Big Al from Cal. E-mail, mrbnf@lightspeed.com. Drop him an e-mail stating your problem. Put in the subject line "HOn3 Shay". Al has a hobby shop somewhere in the central part of CA. If he can't help you, he may know who can.
