Part for bash job

[carlso]

I am in the process of building a second EM1/AC9 locomotive but need a special part......



You can see the Lima pony truck in this jpeg. I have searched the internet and all parts departments that I can find with no luck. Does anyone have and idea where to look or does anyone have one they might be willing to sell.

Does anybody know if Jason is doing any models at all or just motorcycles?

Thanks for looking,
Carl

The leading truck looks similar to the one used on the NKP Berkshire locos (from Rivarossi/Con-Cor) or Life-like/Walthers?  Didn't Bachmann  make one too?  Maybe Bachmann offers it as a spare part?

I suspect you need this, but they're currently sold out:

A similar pilot truck was used on the Rivarossi Berk, so I'd check for an inoperable one online.

Carl, another option would be an outside bearing pilot (or trailing) truck from the Y6b. I may have a spare one but won't be able to check until tomorrow night. If I have it, you can have it.

My first thought, like you all, was the old Rivarossi Berkshire.  Unfortunately, those still fetch a high price on eBay, so it's not very economical to buy a "donor", and the Bachmann parts are all sold out.  I'll hunt around in my parts stash - no promises... But I might have one.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate your looking. I have run Rowa and Rivarossi Berks through every internet search that I can think of with no luck. Of course, as someone said, B'mann lists them but "out of stock". I don't know of any members who do 3D prints that offers one.

Thanks again,
Carl

It might be worth checking with Con-Cor - maybe they still have one of these still stashed in their parts bin?

[carlso]

Pete - I did, no go.

 Hey Carl, is this what you need?  It's off a old MRC berk

[carlso]

Rodney, I think that is what I need. It matches the one on my I-990 loco shown above. Send me a PM and let me know if you would part with it.

Rodney, thanks for your help and contribution. That is what is great about TRW, everybody helping each other.

Well, I'm back home and found these, from a Y6b. Let me know if you still need one.
