If there is no whistle you will not need a truck with a roller. The 480-1 truck will work fine. Any parts you need could be supplied by Jeff Kane, the Train Tender.

I have seen on the forum a number of recommendations for Jeff at Train Tender.

When I look through the inventory online I'm not having a whole lot of luck. Not much at Olsen's either. I am finding Just Trains seems to have everything I'm looking for so far. Whether it's N.O.S. or used. Perhaps the online inventory isn't kept up to date at Train Tender of Olsens's.

Experience is based on finding parts for a 1666 Post War 027 Locomotive that is not running and missing parts. On the Tandem Associates Site It fits everything in the Variation C: Has smooth sand domes, SILVER hand rails, sheet metal pilot truck and steam chest are held in place by posts in the boiler casting, and the number is rubber-stamped on the sides of the cab. (1947) EXCEPT It has a metal Number Plate.
