GEC, my first thought when reading this thread and your quest for the Black Beetle Motor Bogies is that you might try contacting the manufacturer in Australia and see if he has any distributors here in the U.S.

It looks like i'll be having no such luck. He doesn't list any american distributors. the only place i knew had a stockpile of these was a local trolley group, and i didn't know what became of them.

Just been reading an oldish thread on a UK forum and every contributor ststed his undoubted preference for Black Beetle over the Tenshodo Spud. BB have more options for wheelbase and wheel sizes. Obviously the way to go, even though they are 50% more expensive.

yeah, my philosophy is you get what you pay for. I just wish they didn't cost as much as a locomotive. the EMU kits themselves were already super expensive. whatever, better start saving!
