259E Side Rod Spacers | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

BCianciOGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBER

I have a 259E Loco (Gray) that runs great, however upon closer inspection, I see it has two different length Side Rod Spacers, not sure why one would be shorter than the other. The longer one is definitely the better fit. I can't find any spacer in Hennings Trains parts that lists the 259 engine.. it goes from 258 to 260 engines... my luck... I suppose I should be calling Hennings....

According to my 1941 Lionel Parts Lists, the 259E uses the 257-40 spacer. I don't know why Hennings does not list it as an application:

Thank you. That does look like the spacer I need however, the ad doesn't reference the 259 engine either... strange... I've attached a page from my Olsen's trains catalog which shows the 259 linkage with the spacer as being an altogether different part number...

All I can say is this is the Lionel Parts List:

My 259E that I have lines up with the parts list above with the square washer. The Olsen's diagram you provided does not show a square washer.
