i inherited an old lionel 384 loco/tender/ and some cars. I am attempting to rebuild the engine but there are pieces missing that need replaced. I have found most of the pieces needed such as a new replacement frame/drive wheels for those that had metal rot and had the bild-a-loco motor worked on so it would run. I found that the new frame did not include the latches that hold the motor to the frame. I am trying to locate where i can find these latches, verify the sizes of various screws, and get replacement brass pieces (such as pipes, windows, and hand rails) for the engine itself. I have looked at catalogs from various companies and repair shops but have not found these items. Other than trying to size and make them myself, where else can i look to find them? Are there actual exploded views that I can get (the only views i have are from Olsens when I could actually access their site)? I have looked but havent found any, Thank you.
