Thank you, Rob. I'm glad to help where I can. Now, if the OP ever comes back we can hook up and get him going again.
Cheers, Ed
God bless you Ed for your warm generosity and caring for fellow model railroaders. You are always there to lend a hand with your endless supply of parts, some of which you and just as helpful Mike have sent my way when I was in a fix. -Rob
gmpullman faithie999 i need a gear tower cap for a proto pa-1 truck. i am guessing that the 1000 and 2000 trucks are the same, and the caps for the 2-axle and 3-axle trucks are the same. I have a couple I can spare. Send me an email with your address and I'll get them to you. I'm not aware of a 2 axle PA? Exactly what model do you have? LifeLike_PA-parts2 by Edmund, on Flickr bmtrainmaster The gear tower caps should be the same has a bluebox which you can buy from athearn or take from a parts unit. No, they're different. I needed a worm gear cap for a Genesis F unit and had to buy the whole truck at $25 from Athearn as they would not sell the gear cap separately. Maybe the "blue-box" style are available separately? Still, they won't fit a Proto 2000 PA. Regards, Ed
