I was given a Pride Lines O gauge Hiawatha steam loco, it is a 4-4-4 steam loco manufactured by Pride lines as a tribute to the Lionel prewar O gauge version. I need a non geared driver, and a geared driver with the axle. Does anyone know if any parts are available anywhere for these locos? The motor looks like a tinplate Lionel reissue, but the drivers are unique in my limited experience. Any help appreciated. Thanks for reading.

Try the Train Tender parts seller.I think he has every Lionel part ever made.He sold me some rare parts to get my Pride Lines Hiawatha running like a Swiss watch.
Pride Lines parts are a problem, as is their mechanical quality in general. I replaced the motor and a lot of other parts on mine with Lionel and MTH parts from the Train Tender and elsewhere. I have a dead Pride Lines motor assembly I'll sell pretty cheap - the drivers and the armature are good, but the field coil is bad and would have to be repaired or rewound to use it as a motor. You could strip it for parts or have it rewound, depending on the relative condition compared to your existing motor. E-mail me if interested; the e-mail address is in my profile.
