Ask in Buy Sell Trade, you will get a response. Many trainheads have way too
many (Larry P. always pipes up that he will sell one).
Another option, go to Radio Shack and get a wall wart with a 9v connector,
and connect it to the terminals in a small battery box (now is anyone going
to claim that's a non-LEGO pure solution? You are replacing a component
which LEGO provides for you to use, but doesn't sell. Hmm, does that make
any LEGO creation using battery boxes impure?)
