I have a lionel 671 Century Club turbine in need of a front wheel set and axle (for the front truck). Any one here know if this part is available?
Thanks,
JOE

Maybe I should clarify. I recently purchased a sealed set and found the front wheel pair with a damaged axle (it is shorter than the others and keeps falling out of the retainer).
Does anyone here have one for sale? or have information to find a replacement.
Thanks
I'll try to take a look at mine and see if a postwar era truck fits on it. I assume it would, but I've been wrong before. If one does, I bet it would be a lot easier to find a truck than just the axle. I'll try to see if I can see any differences between the two trucks as well.

On all the other traditional turbines, including the Modern era 8404, the front and rear trucks are almost identical. The only difference is the drawbar being loosely riveted to the rear truck.
In fact, when I needed a front truck, I drilled out the rivet from an NOS rear truck and used it.
