A coupler knuckle on a stainless steel Pennsy car has suffered a fatal failure. I'm wondering if, and where, I could find a replacement.

I've up-grade all my Weaver passenger cars to Kadee couplers.
Fine; but that doesn't help me. I want to repair the one I have. I'm looking for a parts dealer.....
Can you swap out the truck with a Lionel part?
I body mounted a Lionel coupler. Problem is, I just picked out one of the parts box at the LHS that "fit". I have no idea what the part number is.
1 - If these use the "standard" ("typical" would be more accurate) mounting pivot with self-centering ramps (a couple of teeth and a couple of notches), most any brand's couplers will fit - the length is the only critical dimension.
2 - DaBay has parts available; just search "couplers" in the header line.
3 - call a big model RR dealer or two, especially those known to have handled a lot of Weaver; the more helpful ones may be able to point you in the right direction, if they don't have the parts.
