Hi swampy. welcome to the forum. The above link is to Hornby USA they are the owner of Riv. It would be a good place to start. Good luck with your search. No need to shout by-the-way. Turn off the CAPS Lock.

if your not successful hitting Hornby, try NorthWest Shortline, they have universal couplings that could mount on the Heisler, I used to own one. Might be slightly more work, but not impossible, just finding the right shaft size, and sliding the old off and putting the new on.

I’ve had great success finding parts for older Rivarossi engines at Golf Manor Hobbies. Check out their web site and contact them with your needs …

Thanks Simon, I will give them a try.

Do you have one of the newer Heislers with the awesome detail and small flanges, or one of the older ones with more molded-on detail and slightly larger flanges?

If it’s older, one place to check is Golf Manor Hobbies. I haven’t dealt with them, but I hear they have a good stock of old Rivarossi parts.

If it’s newer, than the only place I can think to check with is Hornby, since they now own Rivarossi.

I have dealt with Golf Manor Hobbies in Cincinnati when I restored some Rivarossi locomotives. It would be worth contacting them for help with parts.
