I’m new to this Large Scale so I need to ask if anyone could link me up to any manufacturers of different domes, stacks, bells, pilots, etc, etc. to fit a Big Hauler Mogul?
Thanks in advance,

Can’t help in your queery, but welcome aboard
Larry,
Welcome aboard. Over the years there has been everything from simple modifications on the surface to complete drive train replacements, to all kinds of conversions. A good place to start would be Kevin Strong’s work and then Bruce Chandler’s, plus Barry Big Trains, BBT drive train conversions. Are you familiar with Ozark Minatures? Great source for parts.
I’m sure people will speak up with specific topics, that will get you going. Lots of info within these files.
Go to the top of this page and find “Search”. Pick a subject in quotes like “Ten Wheeler” or “Annie” and that will get you started.
Welcome!
I think it would help if you could be a bit more specific about what you want. Are you trying to replicate a certain prototype? Back-date it to an earlier era? Or just add more detail than it came with out of the box?
As Ric says, Ozark Miniatures is one good source. Another is Trackside Details. They have a lot of really good quality brass castings but they don’t have the great online store that Ozark has. I usually order Trackside’s stuff from Caboose Hobbies, but even that’s kind of a pain because CH doesn’t use the same part numbers, and they don’t show pictures of the items.
If you want brass detail parts,
Accucraft sells them. (1:20.3)
