I need help finding/making two parts for a Weaver Little Joe

I have this loco; almost sold it a while back; glad that I didn't.

Which helps you not at all. 

eBay can be a source for detail parts; I like to search "brass" in the title only. Lots (of lots) to wade through - but that can be fun - you might run across a surprising find (I have) - like what you need - or nearly what you need, with mods. 

The parts are relatively simple, and using styrene plus plastic cement plus patience you could make a decent pair, I would think. Painted black: brass, styrene - who can tell? Styrene is available at most hobby shops or from Evergreen online. Easy to work. Make one; throw that away and make a better one. "Model Railroading is Fun", remember? Take your time - you're not in a hurry and you're not going to hurt anything.

Search "locomotive detail parts" on the web. 

But I'd try making them. You can brag about it later.

Get in touch with Bob Lavezzi (908) 925-6035.  He is in the Orange Hall at York.  Bob purchased all parts in the Weaver inventory.  He may be able to help you out.

If you could borrow one it could easily be made by a 3-D printer. Don
