Hi i am in perth western australia modelling in n scale have been doing so for five years and am presently rebuilding my complete set up after the wife claimed my train room at the moment i am having big trouble with my athearn big boy and i am looking for a complete set of rear drive wheels as the wheels that are on it keep throwing the pins out have had it to the shop four times for repair and each time it does the same thing so i am looking to replace the rear truck in the hope it cures this problem if anybody has these parts and are willing to part with them let me know thanks Russ
Russ, welcome aboard. If you post your need on the N scale forum, I'm certain that help will arrive. BTW we have several members from Australia here.
Hi Russ, welcome to the Train Board. Jim's (Fitz) suggestion is probably your best bet. I also am in N-Scale and remember seeing posts about the Athearn BB over the years, so you should get some first-hand responses and advice. I don't own anything larger than some Kato Mikes, so can't help...sorry.
Welcome aboard. The negotiations for model real estate can often be as interesting as those that happen in the real world. Good luck with your loco and continued success!
