Yikes...those folks with NOS Rivarossi parts have us over a barrel, don't they?

Yup. Fortunately I've amassed a decent collection of parts I've snagged at low prices. None of these, but the hex nut solution works, or you could just substitute a set of NWSL dogbone shaft & cups.The Tyco Depot

Shaygetz; great tip on the 3/16" nuts trick. Thanks.
I made one one time by using two of the new style Athearn, hex ended drive shafts. I cut them to length and used some shrink tubing to make the joint. It seems to be working fine.Randy

I did that with the hex shaft from a RR U25C, which is considerably longer. I cut it to length and then joined it with brass tubing. Works fine. The Tyco Depot
