Sources for drive parts and wheels?

Now that NWSL is shutting down, what are other some sources for drive train parts (gears, universals, shafts, bearings, bushings, flywheels, etc. ) and wheels (esp. N-scale wheels)?

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

For motors, there are sources of decent small-diameter coreless and non-coreless now.  For gears, there are two sources I've been using in Poland that can almost pick up the slack for what we are losing with NWSL (https://shop.kkpmo.com/index.php  and http://www.pojezdy.eu/eshop/271-drzaky-motoru   They also have some driveline parts like dogbones, but not nearly the depth that NWSL has.

But for everything else: wheels, gearboxes, TOOLS, bushings, and many more items, this is a disaster.  No other source that I know of.

One of the employees bought NWSL. Should be up again next month. It is announced on their website.

I'm really happy with how the first wish turned out.  I'm good for a while...
