I am looking for any & all parts for KATO’s REVISED series of N-Scale F3 & F7 locomotives … especially the trucks, & motor/flywheel assemblies … Buzz bjbuzz@lctn.com

Buzz I think you might be better off looking on trainboard.com perhaps? I don’t think people use this forum for buying & selling…

Have you tried Kato? http://www.katousa.com/parts-catalog/information.html

Here’s the link for his specific units. I’ve used Kato’s parts catalog 3-4 times in the past 6 months. It’s been great and they have pretty quick turnaround time. I’d like to see more manufacturers provide this type of parts ordering.

Hi F7-A … I appreciate the quick response … I have done 70+ DCC conversions of KATO N-Scale F-Series Locos & am running out of sources of revised (only) chassis for starter platforms … I’ll check out your recommended site … Thanks, and by the way, what part of the Bay Area ?? I am in Tennessee, but was raised in Hayward, (East Bay).

Hi Jay: Thanks … I have ordered from Kato for several years, but unfortunately, they have discontinued virtually all the spare parts for their REVISED series F3 / F7 locos, which is a shame, and a missed opportunity on their part, since that mechanism is, in my opinion, absolutely the best unit in N-Scale for both straight DCC, and the advanced Micro-Tsunami DCC/Sound conversions.
