Your best bet is probably going to be to go to Ebay and find a parts engine with the part you need unbroken. I don't know of any place that sells Flyer HO parts.

The Doctor is in !!! I am not sure if this will help, But try this website:wwwTrainRepairParts.com They deal in A.F. and Lionel parts. I did not see any H.O. parts listed, But contact them and see what they can tell you. If they don't have the parts they may know who does. Hope this helps !

Need help! Looking for HO Gilbert/AF parts.
Posted by Rotorranch on Friday, September 2, 2005 6:23 PM
I have an HO scale Gilbert/AF industrial switch engin that I got when I was a kid, and it's been broken most of my life. The front axle got broken when it fell off the layout. I was able to get a new one, way back then, but I bent it while installing it.

Any way, the motor still runs, and I want get this running since this was my first Diesel loco. I got this one, a Gilbert/AF steam switcher, and an assortment of Athearn, AHM, and Marx freight cars for Christmas in 1963, and I still have all of them, and they all still run, except this one.

Anyone have info on getting parts for it? I've only seen a couple on ePay in several years, and I lost the auction on all of them! [:(] I really want to get this thing running again!
