Mark:
I was in a used book store today and they had some binders with railway manuals. One was on steam generation for diesels, another was the maintenance (I think) manual for the SD40-2 and a third was on a 645something engine.
With prices at $18 for the SD40-2, it was beyond my allowance for the day so I left them.
Is your part no longer available from Ohio Brass?
I saw a museum where they had kept the sand casting room with a whole pile of wooden patterns. If there is anything like this near you, someone might be interested in setting up a demonstration and making useful obsolete parts. Are kids still interested in events with lots of heat, fire, melted bronze and the chance for a major injury?
