USA TRAINS NW2 Pick up Shoes

[duncan1_9_8_4]

I have trawled the internet for new shoes, it seems plenty of retailers are happy to sell USA products, but not the wear and tear spares for such. So, can anyone pount me in the direction of shoes for the NW2?

Charles Ro is the go-to USA Trains spares..

R22-17 - NW2/20T/S4 SLIDE SHOES/SPINGS (4)

I do not know of anyone in the UK who holds the shoes..
My only suggestion for a UK supplier, would be to call GRS? - I know they carry the NW2 motor blocks.

There is also a very slim chance, it might be worth contacting g-bits.co.uk as they list the 'blocks as well??

Yes, we have stock, £4.50/pair, you need one pair per block ie two pairs per loco. UK postage is £3.50, unfortunately they're too chunky to pass through the post office's large letter filter.

I found the LGB skates/shoes fit and hold up better , also they do not snag on frogs …

The LGB shoes are better as they are a little bit wider and run better through the frogs.

Oh, i didnt realise LGB would fit/work or be compatible
