Does anyone have a road pilot for the K-27, looking to replace a damaged one.

I assume the part is out of stock in the online store?

Yup! Road pilots are sold out. Switcher pilots are still in stock for now.

Hi Bcochran,

Interesting item, but it is clearly not a direct replacement since it does not include the deck. If only the boiler tubes are damaged it might be possible to graft one of these on to an existing deck.

Thanks for posting this, I do believe that in the near future 3d printed parts will become ever more important when older parts are long out of stock.
