Atlas RS11 parts question

Are you sure it's an Atlas?  It looks more like a Weaver model to me.

Make your own, you already have the pattern and can easily duplicate them. The only change that I would add would be a thicker and longer "wiping" contact.

It could be.  I’m not totally sure it’s an Atlas, but I HAVE seen other Atlas models with this same style of electrical pickup.

Yep, I’m considering that.  I just thought I’d replace them with original parts, if possible.  But, yeah, that’s a good point to make them a couple of thousandths thicker.  Thanks.

That sure looks like a Weaver model.

Bob Lavezzi (All About Trains - Linden NJ) bought a bunch of the old Weaver parts. He has the parts at the Strasburg meets and also Chicago and York shows.

I've bought pick-ups like that from him at the Strasburg show in the recent past. 

They are without doubt Weaver Models RS11. As George mentioned Bob Lavezzi has the pickups for those engines. Be aware there is a left and right handed version of the pickups. Depending on which truck side is insulated.

You could also take phosphor bronze strips and solder them to rehabilitate the pickups.

MANY thanks!  I did contact Bob and have ordered a set.  I’m really thankful to all of you guys for identifying it for me.  I at first thought it to be an Atlas.
