Norton,
Thanks for the suggestion, but the boiler is marked as "unavailable" on the Lionel site. And since I already have 95% of a completed boiler, I'm really interested in knowing how some of the few missing items are attached, especially the bell cord.
I have searched many web sites, including Google images to try to find close up photos of the boiler, but either the images are very small or the photos do not show the detail. Even photos on ebay do not show the detail I need.
I'm hoping someone can be of help to me.
Thanks,
RAY
