N parts

[p96huff]

Hi  I'am new to this blog, and already have a question. I dug out my old N scale set and found I need parts for a couple Atlas engines. Are parts still available or are those days gone? I need Atlas 445100 brush set. I really donot  want to buy the entire engine .  I cannot believe the price of trains and parts. May have to just put it back in the box again.

 Thank you

Atlas does sell parts, head over to their website and do a search. They're sticking less and less parts though so depending on how old it is you may not find it. Ebay is another option.

It's also worth a call to Atlas. Not everything is catalogued, and sometimes they'll scrap out a defective item to get you what you need. Often forums and mailing lists can be sources of parts, but we'd need to know what model you need parts for. And lastly, repowering is an option that might just land you a better-running engine when you're done.
