I need two parts. To order direct I have to order 6 of each to reach minimum $$$. I'd like to find a sponsor that can get the parts needed and reasonable shipping. Thanks for any info!!!

Although not forum sponsors, here are the two places I purchase from:
1) Rails Unlimited
2) P & D Hobby Shop
Thanks Hot.....I've dealt with P & D but missed the PSC listing!

What 2 parts?
Might post that info.....
I also use Caboose Hobbies. For P&D go to O Scale 2 rail, then detail parts. Too bad, I just placed an order from PSC yesterday. Easily met their minimum order.

I need an Eccentric crank and connecting rod. Which ones I am sill debating. Exact replacements are not made......but a close as possible eccentric will be good. As soon as I figure which will work best.......I'll post. Thanks

That is something I won't have in my shop, but when you get settled on which, try putting up a Want to Buy over on the O Scale Yardsale Yahoo group.
Dave, you might want to check Lionel's site also. If your engine is scale and Lionel makes a similar model, odds are good the crank will be close to, if not the same length. I am using a Lionel eccentric rod to repair a 3rd Rail engine for same reason. PSCs are not the right length.

I have made in person visits to P&D and Caboose Hobbies. Both have a great selection of parts. I really loaded up a few years back at Caboose Hobbies.

Thanks all.......
The Lionel parts look promising.......only issue is finding one among the MANY Eccentrics!
Here is what I need. It's on a Williams brass Dreyfuss.
The 'Look' is not that important to me.....function is more so. Most the Lionel parts are attached with a screw in the center of the eccentric......one I need fits on a shaft. Any Lionel parts even close that may work???
