Rogers 2-4-2 parts wanted

[Ian Powell]

It may be a long shot. I am looking for one truck for the Slope Back Tender of an Aristo Rogers 2-4-2. Would anybody happen to have one in their spares box? Without wheels would be OK.

I have 2 scrapped Rogers locos but not sure if I have the tender bits but will look when I can. I think these tenders are the same as the 0-4-0 switcher.

Yes, and I think the bogies are common with other Aristo stuff - they do have the electrical pickups like the cabooses, but whether they're the same wheelbase, I don't have an Aristo caboose any more to check.

The Aristocraft classic woodside caboose has a different archbar truck which is the same as the Aristocraft classic cars. The slope back tender truck is a slightly longer wheelbase and much taller looking. The Aristocraft steel caboose has a different type of truck.
Nicholas Smith Trains have a set of slope back tender trucks but not cheap at $50.

Yes, the tenders are the same as on the 0-4-0 switcher.

Thank you for your replies. The tender trucks are a different moulding to the other Aristo rolling stock. They are also wider.

I saw these on their website. $60 for a pair which is not bad but postage to the UK would bump the cost.

They are only $49.99 but yeah the shipping to your location will make them expensive. Only plastic trucks but they do have steel wheels and 2 pick-ups per truck. The pick-ups are way more heavy duty than LGB lighting pick-ups too.

The wooden caboose and other wooden type wagons use old Delton tooling where as the Rogers uses old REA tooling hence the difference.

There's also a guy who is 3D printing Aristo parts - Chris Vernell knows the website

Be aware you would be hit for the VAT AND admin charge for the courier collecting it as well!

 

[Ian Powell]

Problem solved. Thank you for your suggestions.

By any chance, would you happen to have the sound activation axle from the tender in your scrap line?

I will try to look through the boxes of bits for you.
