Hello All, I'm looking for some flexible tubing to connect the motor to the drivshaft on my recent acquisition of a PFM 4-6-0. It looks to be pretty standard size, like you would find on a Mantua with can motor or any of a number of locos. Is there something I can find at a local store that would work, other than ordering from a hobby shop? What have you all used? Thanks, Chris

I heard of folks using fuel lines used in Nitro RC vehicles like the trucks, etc.

I have used air tubing for fish tanks and nitro RC tubing. All depends on the needed size.
