6–24594 PRR Break Down B - Unit Searching for part | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

VJandPOGR Forum Member

I’m looking for a part for 6-24594 Pennsylvania F7 Break Down B Unit. I’ve tried searching the Lionel parts site but cannot find this unit or the part. I’m not sure I’m calling it the right thing or if it’s part of the truck

Purchased it on eBay. Looks to be in good condition otherwise though I need to put it on the test track just to see if it powers up.

it looks like one of the “pick up rollers” is missing. I want to 1) confirm it is indeed missing and 2) find the part number. Any advice on how to navigate the Lionel support site for parts would be appreciated.

Will this be a difficult repair? I’m hoping it can be done without removing the truck.

Thanks!

Vin

No worries it's designed that way. A roller on that axle would risk rubbing the round motion sensor in the center.

Vin,

@RickO is correct. Although it appears that one collector arm is missing on your unit it's actually intended to be that way.

Here's how to find the parts list for this locmotive (see the boxes highlighted in yellow):

What comes back is this:

and the collector (same part as Rick mentioned) is farther down the list:

This should help you with future searches. If you still have trouble let us know and we'll chime in.
