Have you looked at the Lionel site for the exact parts? They ship fast and have many parts. Very helpful to me when I've asked them.

Maybe Brasseuers?

Yep. They don't have the part in need. It's the steam exhaust pipe (shaped like an "S") sits dead center between the frontmost drivewheels and front of boiler - basically swivels opposite the boiler around curves and limits the amount of swing like a catch-lever...also keeps the front of the boiler from bottoming out when riding over bumpy, or uneven track.

Would MTH part FB-1500028 work? I bet they are pretty similar, right?

eBay is a source of parts, frames, boilers etc. It's catch-as-catch-can, but they are there. I know; I have way too many odd parts waiting for a project. I can't live long enough...

Simpler parts can be fabricated, you know. Some raw material (like brass), some patience and time - things can be made. It depends.

Thanks. I checked everything. I'm thinking of just going with the MTH Yellowstone part of the same type. It isn't shaped quite the same, but it can't be THAT different considering they're both scale reproductions of the same proto-type. Worth a shot for $6 I think.
