TextI have a mantua General Steam engine that needs a drive shaft. I have had no luck in finding one or a replacement part that would work. Can anyone help me with this?

You might try Northwest Shortline. They make several types of driveshaft/universal joint combinations The URL is www.nwsl.com

Another alternative is having the part fabricated at a short-run machine shop. You might be able to locate one through your LHS.

You might also try your local model railroad club. Likely someone has a parts box with what you need or may be willing to fabricate one for you.
