Hello. I am new here . I recently bought the above described On30 locomotive and tender on Ebay. It's missing the smoke stack and the whistle. I didn't see either part available on the Bachmann parts site,so I'm wondering if anybody here might be able to help me to find replacement parts.
I found a C&S Mogul style "Bear Trap" with spark arrester on Ebay :

Does anybody know if that would be a god fit?
I can't find a whistle, so , am I just out of luck getting that part, or does anyone have a suggestion?
Thank you!

Thanks,Terry. That gave me few parts numbers to search for. Unfortunately, nobody seems to have the whistle that's more like the factory installed version. There's a standard, single chime whistle on Ebay, so I'll probably order that for now.
I bought a complete Hawthorne Village 2-6-0 locomotive,and tender to use as a donor to rebuild the #135. I got it for a good price.I combined both of them to produce a beautiful ,complete model that is black, with silver caps on the steam chest, white trim(think the #22 Colorado & Southern),and brass railings.
I also repainted the new tender, as the one that came with the #135 was missing a step.These On30 tenders are kind of hard to find with all 4 tender steps on them!
