Where to purchase Rivarossi Big Boy HR2638 Parts?

[Roman-354284]

I have one of the newer Rivarossi HR2638 Big Boy locomotives with DCC and Sound thats missing the bell and a brake shoe set. I've looked far and wide for replacement parts but can't find where to purchase any.

For reference I'm located in the US, not sure if that makes parts more challenging to find. Any ideas or advice is greatly appreciated!

Have you tried Customer Support @ hornby.us ?? Parts for any of Hornby

Chinese items are difficult as there is always a finite supply. If you would wish to contact Hornby's boss - simon.kohler@hornby.com

Hi Roman and welcome to the forum.

As you're in the US, I'd suggest joining one of the US forums such as ModelRailroadForums.com and asking the questions there. Someone should be able to tell you who are the main suppliers of Rivarossi spares. A UP bell should be fairly straightforward to acquire as an aftermarket option if not available through Rivarossi. Brake shoes are also likely to be common to other UP locos and should be available somewhere.

Have fun.
