  Does anyone know if these will work for the intermountain tunnel motors?  Thanks

Yes they work in the TMs

I can't figure out why no one here has suggested ordering direct from Kato. I did this 2 months ago and ordered 20 packages so I could do all
my loco's.
There only $8.00 a set and you get 6 wheeled gear sets. That as cheap as you'll find anywhere.

I get them from MBK because of the discounted price.  If you buy a dozen packages, the discount adds up.  Plus, I usually manage to order few other items too.    BTW, some of the earlier sets only contained 4 sets (not 6).  Same part number! I was happy when they added 2 more wheel sets (so 2 packages can convert 3 4-axle locos).

Wow, a thread I started 4 years ago still lives on, talk about a legacy!

Pete,
What I don't get is MB Klien gives them a list price of $10 and selling them at $8.49 a package and Kato lists them a an MSRP of $8.00!! 

I did try to order a large quantity just to see what they would have charged me but they only have 4 sets in stock which won't give you any discount.

So just how much did you eventually pay per set??
Just curious because I've never done better than $8 per set.

No, MBK has them listed at $8.00 MSRP and discounted to $6.79 per package.

But, they're out of stock.  There was one pack in stock yesterday.  Somebody got it.

My bad Dave. 

Apparently when I typed in Kato Wheel sets it brought me to the 923120 and I did not catch it!!!!!  DOH

Thanks for showing me where I went wrong.

Nevermind.
Still, $6.80 is better than eight bucks. 


Hmmm . . . that's very interesting . . .

I bought the last batch from MBK in October, 2018.  The Kato label on the package shows $8.00, but the MBK price I paid was $6.80.  Earlier batch I bought from MBK, back in March, 2016, has the same $8.00 price on the Kato label, but at that time MBK price was $6.40.  If what you see is correct, then something odd is going on at MBK.

Psst.  Pete.  Read the prior two posts.

That's what happens when others post messages while I'm composing mine.
