My co-worker at the train shop turned me on to this website. Unfortuntaely, $50 minimum order required, but they have some great stuff.
www.ppw-aline.com
I used the Athearn driveshaft kit to fix both an Athearn and a LifeLike diesel today, both were missing a universal joint, and they used the same round shaft with key notch type. I thought it would be a hassle to fix this customer's engines, but I had them done in under an hour for both. Unfortunately, the Atlas engine he had has a special driveshaft coupling, and will require Atlas specific part to fix. Anyway, this website has other stuff, tools, rolling stock, chassis upgrades, geared towards Athearn products, but others are there as well. No Bachmann that I saw, though. Worth a look.

I've seen this site before, but never looked at it in depth.
Many possibilities with all the different kits for re-powering.
It even lists a Holland motor, of which I have an example.
I don't think mine qualifies as a micro.
Of course I don't have a picture of it.

| I could never understand why some companies won't ship outside of the U.S. I ran an online store for years here in Canada and shipped all over the world. It was no more difficult than mailing items domestically.

Have to fill out a customs form and particularly if you accept Paypal you need a tracking number that shows delivered, which eliminates anything below Priority Mail, which jacks the costs up so many buyers balk at it.
I quoted a guy to send a Tyco E7 to Australia and it was over $50. For between 1 and 2 lbs.
