Bachmann 4-6-0 Domes

I'm doing a kitbash of a Bachmann Porter and need both the steam and sand domes from the ten wheeler that has fluted domes (ridges)(older prototype), not the smooth sided domes most Bachmann ten wheelers have.  It seems the versions with wood burning balloon stacks have the fluted domes.  The White Christmas Express Train Set on this website is an example.

I'd rather not have to buy the whole locomotive on somewhere like EBay just for the domes.  Anyone have those domes, or a whole boiler or a damaged one?  Sure would appreciate it.

Please contact me offline at my email address.

Thanks,

Gandy Dancer

Trackside Details has turned brass domes with cast bases--and lots of other parts--

You could try calling Bachmann, they have helped me in the past with parts not on their sale list.  Best to use the regular number rather than the 800 number.
