I am looking for the bell for a 4019 I am resurrecting. It has nickel trim and Hennings shows them out of stock. Anyone know who might have one?
I would hate to use brass being as all the rest of the trim pieces are nickel (except name plates).
thanks
Steve

Is it the early style that hangs down from the hoop or the one with the more normal style "U" shaped bracket that anchors to the cab roof and supports the bell on the sides?
In either case, an "Ives" style nickel bell is probably close enough should you not find a Flyer. I find that many of the parts places use the bells interchangeably anyway...
If you're super ocd about it, wait for a junker loco (O or wide gauge) to come along and steal the bell.
For now, I have a repro bell installed that looks the part, I just have no idea what it was n]meant for. Probably too close to the original to worry about. I will show pictures in another post.
