A quick referral to the RS-3 blog about available parts. We do like to offer Couplers, Trucks, Snowplows and Various Airhorns. (Some have been available in the past) And to make it as generic as possible we would probably stick to black color. Hope this helps and we are talking 6 months out.

I'm glad you guy's offer spare parts! I've bought a bunch of horns, snowplows and pilots, and the winterization hatches too for all my locos. Thanks for offering these parts.

Hans, was
I hope in that time you can figure a way of separating requests/sales of spares for legitimate repair needs from from the one from people who think they are going to custom build a locomotive. Other tthan Gerd. I've seen very few examples of real custom builds and I'd hate to lose a locomotive to a broken truck because someone has bought up all the trucks with the dream of someday building a Centennial locomotive.

I,m looking for replacement trucks for the near first AZLproduct, the ACF 3-Bay’s 9030x and 9130x with 36” wheels that fall out (mostly because the car was “hefty”. I put Bowser’s 32” in when they came out an fairly well. The AZL partnumwes wher change way back (when we’re lucky to finally get spare parts) and the part numbers don’t match on the web for the types. 32” close couplers are OK but anything that can hold the axles in the truck would be appreciated :-) They’re all weathered and graffiti from wayback when and shows were the only place I ever see them, they just sit on a siding because I can’t run them.

Jeff, Are you just looking for replacement roller bearing trucks with wheels for the ACF 3-bays? We have those in vast quantities. -R

Damn! Just a few miles from me! I looked up the TR news. Assholes. a LOT of stolen cars (mostly Kia's) and as the Nissan ads go, Zoom Zoom Zoom. Everyone drives fast here and stolen car or not, they run when the police try to pull them over. and a lot of DUI's, but this is the worst!

RIP Mark! I barely knew him but always willing to share his thoughts and knowledge. Words do not express the sadness to read something like this senseless act. Tiest
