Does anyone know where I might obtain some Lifelike Proto 2000 locomotive drive wheels (on the axels)? I’ve already contacted Walthers and was told that they had none in stock. Thanks.
Are you looking to replace the axle gears? If so, you can order Athearn axle gears from Horizon, the P2K’s were clones of the Athearns.
Thanks. I’ll try your suggestion.
It might help to know if this is for a 4-8-4 or a GP-9. Walthers’ Parts Dept. maybe can ‘special’ order them from the original factory if you are willing to wait and pay overseas air - assuming they’re still in stock.
Essentialy, Walthers is just an importer, and not a maintenance fascility. Good luck. they technically aren’t resposible for products they didn’t sell.
Try buying NASH auto parts from Chrysler. Welcome to the world as it IS.
Technically, they are. Walthers bought Life-Like a few years ago and acquired all their parts stock. I lost most of the journal bearing off my P2K E-8s and contacted Walthers parts. They no longer had them in stock, but they are a primary source for whatever pre-Walthers P2K parts remain.
