Thanks Larry. I had a friend in Louisiana named Bill Harrison. He was a good parts supplier. I just sent him an email asking if he had that part number.
I looked the unit over and it's smoking fine. But the fan motor has stopped. I did get it working again for maybe 25 seconds but it failed again. So we will see what happens? I sure loved this little Mikado. It's a super puller and didn't cost much. Perfect to run with post war Lionel stuff.
