Gilbert/ AF Diesel Switch Engine...Need Help Finding parts!

[Rotorranch]

I have an HO scale Gilbert/AF industrial switch engine 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.

Anyway, 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!

Thid page has links to dealers with AF parts http://www.trainweb.org/crocon/saf.html about a third of the way down.
Good luck

Do a google search for Gilbert trains - there is/was a guy who had both original and repro parts a while back. I believe he was in R.I. or CT. Also go over to the Classic Toy Trains board as there are a lot of Flyer people there.

Thanks guys. I'll try posting in the Toy Train forum.

If anyone else knows where to find parts for my little engine, please let me know!

I tried the link IRONROOSTER mentioned, and so far the general response is "don't have HO parts". Seems they all do the larger scale stuff. [:(]

If any of you ePay watchers see one of these, please let me know.
