I am having trouble getting the detail parts at my LHS. Where is a good place online to buy detail parts for locomotives such as Detail West and Detail Associates. Thanks in advance.
Walters carries a good selection of Details West parts at reasonable prices. Same thing with Detail Associates. Both companies are batch producers of detail parts, which means they are sometimes out of stock but Walthers seems to have them in stock more than anyone else.
Thanks for the answers. My LHS seems to be good, if i only need 1 or 2 of the parts. But with the current project i am working on, i need about 8 of each part.
Luckily Details West also makes most, if not all, of the items made by Detail Associates, so hopefully this won't impact the hobby too hard if nobody takes over D.A.
Good find, Josh! Peter Arnold's post was added on the evening of July 10 when I was getting ready to head out of town for a week, I didn't think to re-read the entire thread. Let's hope DA will make a comeback...
I wonder what it would cost to buy the company and if there is anyone that could pass along the supplier list? Might be an interesting deal for the right person.
