Any chance these will be restocked?

They are getting pretty worn out on my older engines. I could use a goodly supply.
A different company has similar parts. I have used these on a Decapod before and they will fit with very little fussing.

Or the ones on this page could be adapted......

Dear Train,
Call the parts department and ask them.
Thanks!

Sid;
One of the interesting facets of this hobby is the re-building 'tinkering'-as Jonathan puts it... I have used Bachmann's parts dept. extensively, with mostly good results.
In the 'old days', there was a lot more available than now; but that is because there is less interest in actually 'getting under' a locomotive. Sad? Maybe; or just the normal evolution of things.
I have two 'model power A-5 (0-4-0) that I thought "less of", but Bowser just sent an E-mail with some pretty low prices for stuff. So, now I have enough 'stuff' (parts) to reconstruct them both-with real valve gear, for openers.
There are a few good sites upon which parts not normally found anywhere-are found! It would be for the modeler to find them.
