MLW Services still has brass parts from the CNR K-3 Pacific that would fit on
the AM Pacific. I just have not had the time to list them on the website.
They include
Leaf spring trailing truck @ $45
domes @ $5.00 each
smokestack @ $6.00
Walshaerts Valve gear hangers. @ $10 a pair
Baker Valve gear hangers @ $14 a pair
pop valve shroud @ 5.00
Barco early style power reverse $6.00
CNR pilot $15.00
etc.
I can send a more complete list if anyone is interested.
Please look at the website below to see what they look like on the
locomotives.
cheers,
