WANTED - bell

My little tram engine has (had) a bell on top in the usual frame. I suspect it was an LGB part as the rest seems to be LGB. Anyway, my carry case caused the frame to break so I need a new one that is a bit more robust. Anyone have a spare metal bracket, or know where I can get one?

What Ken Said, just placed and received an order from him the other day w/o issues. everything I wanted was in stock.

Thanks Ken and Al. I had forgotten TD had one! [That’s what LSC guys are for, to jog the aging memory. (http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif)]

I did find TrainLi has the original Stainz bracket, but I hate to think how long it will take to get one.

Yea, I am still waiting to finalize an order for a 2 bay hopper car latch. Actually, I gave up after a few unanswered emails.

Bill, thanks for the offer. I have no idea where the bell came from, but TrainLi have a Stainz bracket for $2.95 and I persuaded Joane not to charge me $8.95 for shipping. So I am set for now.

Pete, you do realize that the bell for the stanza looks nothing like your pictured one

Bill, we seem to be talking about different things. This is the bracket I ordered from TrainLi, and they claim it is from the HK Porter, and it looks like the one I broke. I think the Stainz has the one you show - sorry if I misled you as I was confused.

Good glade you are getting what you need I just went by the word stanza

Hey Pete, wasn’t there other parts from the Porter? Makes sense, that could be the one. Now the big question is, (drum roll) - Did you fix the carrying case?

Which one?

The offending case was one of my tool boxes that I got at HD on sale for $6-ish. Actually, it was the thick towel I used as padding on top that did for the bell. I have a couple of foam blocks, so one will get shaped to fit the roof but not destroy the bell!
