3015 restoration Project

Fellow Marklin enthusiasts,

Once again I seek your assistance. I recently rescued this Marklin 3015 from a collection of about 30 Marklin locomotives. The previous owner had dismantled all of the locomotives and put all of the parts into one box. The box was then stored in very poor conditions.

I searched through the lot and managed to secure most of the loco. The loco judging by the wheels and the current pick-up shoe has had very little use. I would like to restore it to full working condition but need to source more parts to complete the project. I currently need the following:

1 x pair of side rods (L+R) Part Nos. 209160 & 209190
2 x pairs of wheels without flanges Part No.209150
1 x Achslager Part No. 209140
1 x Griffstange Part No.208980
1 x Pufferbohle (with the work Germany stamped on it) Part No. 208990
1 x Puffer Part No. 761010
1 x Unterlage Part No. 206310
1 x Kontaktplatte Part No. 206280
1 x Schleifer Part No. 7175
1 x Senkschraube Part No. 756100
1 x Treppe Part No. 208710
1 x zylinderschraube Part No. 785030

I have acquired some other parts through Ebay but the shipping costs (17.00 euro for one side rod) charged by some sellers who have individual parts for sale is very high and would consequently make the cost of restoration more than the locomotive is worth when added to the initial purchase price.

Does anybody know of a good source of parts who would be willing to ship all items in one lot for a reasonable price?

Thank you in anticipation of your response

John

Era 3
DB lokos, coaches and freight cars from across Europe
But I do have the obligatory (six) SBB Krocs
ECoS 50200, all FX and MFX decoders replaced with ESU V4s, operated in DCC-RailCom+ with ABC brake control.
With the exception of the passenger wagens with Marklin current conducting couplers, all close couplers have been replaced with Roco 40397.

Matt and Mike,

Thank you for the information. I have checked the websites. I will be able to source all of the parts that I need from them. Hopefully the loco will be rolling shortly.
