Several years ago I repowered an older Rivarossi FM locomotive with P&D Hobbies

universal drive system, it has worked flawlessly. This locomotive is one of three in

a consist. Suddenly one of the "spider" joints in drive keeps popping out and

all locomotive drive is lost! The joint still looks brand new, does not look worn

at all? Help!

Bob2,
 
Any chance with a USH part number or where I can get?
