Per parts@athearn.com " replacement drive axle samples have been received/approved.
Please contact us in about a month for an up-date".

Yep. They haven't released them to a production outfit or scheduled production yet, though. Wonder who's doing them. I would think Samhongsha since they had the molds.
They haven't gotten that far with the Pacifics yet.
Thank you NWSL.
What could have happened.... did.

Yes,Samhongsa was the loco manufacturer.
According to a trainorders post "the problem was the actual assembly of the gear onto the axle but had to
go to another manufacturer to get the replacements".

I didn't see that, I talked to Athearn. Guess maybe they had a falling out with Samhongsa.
