I know this is more of an HO forum, but some have N as well, so I figured I'd ask. I have several engines and cars needing parts, but where do you find them? I have some older Atlas passenger cars needing the longer coupler arms on the trucks. I go to train shows, and NO ONE sells parts for N gauge, at least not the whole truck and coupler, you can find wheelsets all day long, but without a truck, they're no good to me. Figured I'd run across a vendor or two, but so far, nada. Any good websites to find spare replacement parts?
I also have an older engine, Atlas E8 I think, made in Italy, missing the rear power truck to the worm gear. Where do you find those?. Are there just fewer repair parts available for vintage N gauge compared to HO? Seems that way.
Just thought I'd put this out there and hope to find some answers from any of you other N gauge users. Thanks for any help.

Ya, no kidding Jerry. I gots 4 engines that need major TLC ( IE Motors), ebay has nothing for N. Hasn't been around long enough and popiular enough to really to get to where HO has gotten.
