Title: Parts Needed for EK 4-6-0
Post by: stationmaster on April 01, 2010, 01:46:09 PM
Looking to find parts for the Emmett Kelly 4-6-0. I purchased this train as new old stock from a gentleman who had owned a hobby shop. The engine is missing parts. The brake shoes were missing, and not in the parts bag. And the "guides" for the side rods that attach to the steam cylinder were also missing.

Any ideas where these items may be found? The missing parts do not affect performance of the engine, but do take away from the aesthetics.

Feel free to email me or contact me via PM. Email address should be available if you go to my profile. Or post here.

Thank you.

Bob

The brake shoes are listed in the Bachmann parts store (where it says "Order Parts" on the left <==== )

Bob,

I have all that you need, and in some cases improved parts.

The brake shoes are the easy part.

I believe you are missing the crosshead guides.  If there are caps on the cylinders, but no bracket to contain the crosshead (attached to the mainrod), then you can use my metal crosshead guides, with instructions and templates to install.

Anything else you need I will probably have.
