Andy_Richards Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I'm looking for spares for my Hornby Networker, I'm looking for X8212 which is the "Power bogie wheel/axle set" (see picture attached). I have tried all the usual place without any luck to date. I know this is a bit of a long shot but if anyone has a wheel set they are willing to part with then please get in contact. Any help would be much appreciated Thank you Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Andy Hi Andy, I would have thought that Peter’s Spares was your best option. I’ll ask around and see what I can find out though I make no promises.

Kelly Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I intend to convert mine to P4, so will probably have spares at some point when I get around to converting them. I'll likely be re-placing the motor bogies too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll ask around and see what I can find out though I make no promises. The problem is that they no longer make the Networker, hence the lack of spares. Its a real pain. I have considered looking at the Pendolino driving axles but on closer examination they don't look the same Regards Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 The Hornby Networker mechanism is closer to a Scaletrix one than the Pendolino iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
