Buying TKK's Hustler and need the motor, shaft pulleys. and drive bands. Only part Athearn has new is drive bands. Better yet, how hard are the Ernst gear kits for Hustlers to find? " Heck with counting 'em rivets, TRAINS ARE FOR FUN! Not called the Mad Scientist for nothing either!"

Ernest gear kits are not that common these days, and have sold for 25-40 bucks when I was looking ( Bought a set to redo one of the MDC boxcabs for $32 on Ebay some years ago ). Anyway, good luck with that, I don't have any spare Hi-F parts myself.

You might try Grandt Line. They have delrin chain drives and crossbox gearboxes and such. Might be able to make something. Unspoken expectations are premeditated failures.
