I have an AHM GP 18 locomotive that was dropped and broke one of the trucks. This engine has the motor in the middle with 2 drive shafts that are all in good shape.  The truck with gear box was damaged and need to replace it.  Ive checked all the usual places ebay, amazon, Tranz, etc.   Does anyone have a suggestion for a dealer or other to purchase this item.

thanks

Hello everyone

I have an older run Walthers SW-1 that I'm working on, I want to replace the flexible rubber hose that drives the rear truck. There used to be a tutorial and parts list on the NWSL website but it seems to be gone now. 

Can anyone who has done this upgrade let me know what parts you used and some tips on this conversion? I sent an email to NWSL but I haven't heard back from them yet and I feel that I will get better advice here as I'm sure some of you have tackled this upgrade.

Thank you so much for any and all help!

Dear MRHers,

Having found myself (unexpectedly) faced with a small fleet of DCC locos,
with a variety of decoders from the major US-manufs,
(and a couple of oddballs, not to mention any "visiting units" that need help)

I'm seriously considering building a custom DCC test/programming rescue toolbox ("throw-pack").
