Anyone know where I can get a new drive shaft for my SD40-2  new type as I broke the one in my loco. I already looked on the American Kato site but they don't have any. So I am open to ideas.

I'm probably putting them on the spot but, here goes anyway.

Contact BT Trains.com.  Seem to have a parts hound.

I am not familiar with the Kato SD mechanism. Would these splines be what you need?
