I am in need of a set of drivers for the front engine of an N scale Rivarossi Big Boy, it is about 8 years old, does anyone know a source of parts.
I am in Queensland, Australia.
You can email direct if you wish.

Golf Manor Hobbies in Cincinnati Ohio is the authorized Riv repair vendor. I will call them tomorrow for you and see if they have them.
Do you have any more information???

Hi,
The HO RIV authorizied vendor in Cincinnati Ohio does not do N nor do they know where you can go.
I do have an HO Riv Steam friend who have been doing steam for 24 years and I will e mail him and report back.

Hi Charles,
Thanks for the assistance, I appreciate any help I can get in locating parts.
Actually, parts are a problem here in Australia for not only Rivarossi, but Life-Like and others.
Yours in Model Railroading

Ted, still working for you.
Patiently waiting for replies from three sources.
Will also call Walthers, the exclusive HO Riv
distributor and see if by chance they ran across
this N scale question.
Regards,

Ted.
I posted your question on www.trainboard.com, N-scale forum
www.atlasrr.com N-scale forum
So far no solid leads
Talked to IHC-Hobby and to Walthers and they can't help.
But Con-Cor of Tusson Arizona is the importer of N-scale Rivs in this country.
Go to their site http"//.all-railroads.com and at the bottom of that page click on their E-Mail response form.
Send it to the attn: of Dave.
If all else fails you should consider buying a junker on E-Bay.
Best regards,
locomotive3@prodigy.net
