[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by FundyNorthern</i> <br /><br />For less than the cost of the PDT you could buy a new Life Like RDC with the proper length (the Athearns are too short), with a new motor, flywheel, lights at both ends, interior seating, DCC ready, etc. Trainworld is currently offering them for $19.95. <br /> <br />Bob Boudreau <br />Canada <br />[/quote] <br />I have to agree with Bob, it's your best bet. However if you want a challenge Ernst Manufacturing Inc. <br />Walthers Mfg #259 makes a gear kit for $12.00 plus shipping. <br />This is designed for the newer style Athearn motor with a 1/8" shaft. <br /> <br />If you just need new bands, Athearn part #90101 for $3.60 + shipping. I think my LHS still has a pack. If you want I can buy them for you. <br /> <br />IMO, go with Bob's suggestion.
