Per parts@athearn.com " replacement drive axle samples have been received/approved.
Please contact us in about a month for an up-date".
Yep. They haven’t released them to a production outfit or scheduled production yet, though. Wonder who’s doing them. I would think Samhongsha since they had the molds.
They haven’t gotten that far with the Pacifics yet.
Thank you NWSL.
Yes,Samhongsa was the loco manufacturer.
According to a trainorders post “the problem was the actual assembly of the gear onto the axle but had to
go to another manufacturer to get the replacements”.
I didn’t see that, I talked to Athearn. Guess maybe they had a falling out with Samhongsa.
