Hi there, Im new but I have built coasters for a while. Anyway, I am in need of a front coaster car and other parts if possible as everywhere else I have looked there isn't any as they don't make them anymore. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would be extremely grateful.
Also I dont have anysets, just bits I have bought off ebay, so I couldnt get a replacement

Try calling K'nex. Even though they don't sell them off their site anymore, I still have gotten a middle car from them for free if I recall right. Not sure if they do the same for front cars but it's worth a shot..

best bet is ebay, there are several SS trains listed all the time. I bought 2 trains of a guy for $10 a piece and he gave me reasonable combined shipping.

What did you search into Ebay? I couldnt find any after ages of searching. Well due to me having some money. I have just bought a screamin serpent so I should get some carts. Thanks anyway

The best way is to buy complete Screamin Serpents. That's what I did. Then I found someone on a Dutch eBay-like website who owned 14 Screamin Serpents and more. Too expensive for me, but he was willing to sell the trains separately. Very rare happening, so I suggest you simply buy complete Screamin Serpents. Occasionally there are separate trains on eBay, but for the prices they ask you can usely buy a whole set.

Unless you have tons of parts and only want cars, it is usually more cost effective to buy a SS set if you can find one for <$40 INCLUDING shipping.

The reson I couldnt find any is because I am from England and non came up on english sellers. Oh and I did search 'Knex coaster' and only sets came up. But like I said somewhere I have ordered a screamin serpent from ebay

Oh and jogumpie I love your coasters, I have just watched one but I can't remember its name

[Maxlaam]

It's a little harder to get the Coasters in the UK, maybe you do have to find them in other countries.

Yep well I have got a screamin serpent coming. So I can get some in that, I think, hope and pray.
Thanks all for your help.
Michael
