Want to buy: 2-wheel front truck w/coupler for Lionel Diesel Industrial Switcher (6-18515)

Grampstrains:

My favored parts dealer (S&W Parts) had a fire and is no longer is business. The Lionel parts department is temporarily closed while it is being relocated to ... somewhere. I sent e-mail inquiries to three parts dealers, but no response yet. Thanks for the tip about the use of this part on other Lionel diesel locos.

I intend to use the existing attachment screw and spring from my 6-18515 existing loco, so I only need the 2-wheel truck and magnetic coupler. I hope to hear from a vendor soon.

if this is the one;

Lionel has one listed on their website here.

Forum sponsor hennings has it in stock - same as postwar 41 and 57

Edit: Note that you need the spring and the pin parts for attaching also

Hemmings had the Lionel 2-wheel front truck for the diesel industrial switcher in stock, and they sent it to me promptly. My "Lionel Steel" diesel is now running again with freight cars in tow!

Good to hear that the workhorse is back on the rails.

Also, keep Chuck Sartor (O'nly 3 Rail) in mind when you need parts

Thanks for that tip about a Lionel parts vendor. I bookmarked that source to my PC address book.
