Okay guys. I ordered a bunch of axle/gears and gears from Horizon. The set of twelve axle/gears was about $20.00 and the gears alone were something like 6 for 2 bucks. I’m sure I could have gotten them somewhere cheaper, but what the heck right? At least it seems like a better deal than what NWSL is reselling them for.
Dave, I buy all my ATHEARN replacement parts from a web site called:
discounttrainsonline.com
They have allot of Athearn partsfor engines and freight cars, shipping is $6.95 for what ever you order, I am sure you might find something else you may need for yourself too so the $6.95 will not be to bad.[:)]
ICRR,
Thanks for the info. I have purchased stuff from discounttrainsonline.com and have been pleased with their service and prices. Your comment that I might find something else I may need is 100 percent dead on accurate - which is why I didn’t order through them this time, but rather went to the Horizon site with the express purpose of getting the axles and gears. Let me explain. Right now I’ve blown my budget for a couple of months and I think I’m about 5 or 10 years in debt to “early Christmas” and “early birthday presents.” Just got a DCC system, so of course I had to get some decoders, some sound decoders, speakers, led’s and oh yeah, gotta get one of those BLI locomotives . . . well you get the idea. My fear was that had I gone to discounttrains, or internettrains, or Klein that I wouldn’t be able to control myself ("well, I’ll just add this … . … . and oh wait, gotta get one of those too) and get a bunch of stuff I need. Okay, maybe not need but want. They mean the same right? Am I the only one with this inability to control onself at times?
LOLOLOL!!! I hear you, I am the same way! Always plan on just buying what I need end end up buying everything that catches my eye! You would not beleive how much stuff I got still in unopened boxes just sitting around! Going to get rid of allot of stuff “again” on ebay! I do this every year, buy a bunch of loco’s, parts or whatever, then sit on them for 6 month’s! What am I thinking? Its fun though, right?
BIG TIME FUN!!
