Andre, I'm not sure if in stock, but S scale Loco & Supply lists "non functional" plain bearing journals in brass, part, number 68-1, for $1.50 ea. I think from the drawing in the old catalog, that these would be what you want. I think these were designed for steam loco trailing truck use so should be the larger journal size that would look good on a diesel sideframe.

Hi boB!
When it comes to what I intend to use it for
(modifying the AM Baldwin truck sideframes to replace the roller bearing cast
detail with friction journal detail)... replacement switcher side frames won't
work UNLESS it is slightly longer in wheelbase to fit the AM
Baldwin.
Copish?
SW-1:
Have considered one... but at this point have not decided to take the SW-1 plunge. Curious though, what model/mfg is it?

There was a Type Switch engine truck casting kit back in the "good ol' days". I built a set for my SW-1. I can't remember the name, now, but the late Walt Danylak was behind the effort. Maybe some of the list members have more info.
Want to buy a sweet running SW-1?
