Here's the latest from Athearn. Thank-you for your inquiry. Please note that we do not have an ETA for these parts as of yet. If you have not done so already please send us an e-mail requesting the number of drive axle assemblies that you need along with your shipping address and we will send you some once they come back into stock. Please send separate e-mails for each engine type, i.e. 2-8-2 & 4-6-2. Sincerely, Athearn Trains
I received a driver/gear replacement, for the Mikado, a couple of weeks ago from Athearn. This was about a 2 year wait!
I sent them an e-mail about getting my replacement set a day ago. I started talking to them about getting a drive set almost 2 years ago as well!!! If you've got yous, then there's hope that SOME DAY I'll get mine, right? Mark in Utah
Latest e-mail from Athearn...... Mark, Thank-you for your patience in this matter. Please note that we did receive a small production run of the replacement drivers and promptly sent them all out to the people at "the front of the line." We are actively trying to arrange a larger second run in order to satisfy all of the other requests and will send you one just as soon as we are able. Sincerely, Athearn Trains I guess I've got to wait a bit longer..... Mark in Utah
