Title: Pantographs for Acela hhp8 HO
Post by: hutchinb on November 08, 2016, 09:36:17 PM
Trying to find a couple of Pantographs for an Acela hhp8, HO scale.  Since the hhp8 has been discontinued Bachmann is no longer making replacement parts for it.  Anyone know where I might find some?  Thanks for the advice!

I saw a pair of pantographs at brasstrains.com under their accessories section.  Don't know if they'll fit.

Regards,

Jonathan

If you cant find the replacement parts... I would try to use pantographs from an old Trolly car at this stage I would say that's about your only option. unless you can find the parts I'd check @ mom & pop hobby shops too.

Marklin makes a couple of single arm pantographs that might work as a substitue. Part numbers were in the 72xx series if I remember right.

Dug out my Marklin catalog, and the pantograph that's probably closest to the HHP8 would be part number 7247. If you can't find that, next closest would be part 7219.
