Athearn Intermodal - part broken - help

Aug 17, 2006 4 Replies

I have an Athearn Intermodal 5 car set which I bought second hand. The reference number on the box is 5915 and it sates that it is a BN twin-pack. The problem is that the first car has the non coupler side truck mounting broken (it was probably me wot broke it!). This is the first car of an articulated set and it is therefore rather important.



As there is a clean break I could try glueing the parts together but experience has taught me that such joints are often weak. I'd rather replace the whole part. Problem is I have no idea of the part number nor any idea where to get the part from. Anyone on this ng have any ideas please?



TIA
