Good luck. I"ve noticed that many of the internet shops are no longer listing the Athearn blue box kits.

SIMPLEST SOLUTION: Contact http://www.athearn.com/Default.aspx and look under SHOPATRON.

MORE DIFFICULT: Continue to search the Web for European, or other non US sources.

Most of the 'Big Boys' have dropped Athearn because they can't get distributor pricing on it..
