Detail parts/castings

Looking to kitbash a NYC L-2a Mohawk into a NYO&W Y-2 Mountain (copy of NYC L-2c with some road specific changes)).  Looking for detail parts, particularly sand domes, pilot air pump shield, & smoke box front. 

Has anyone assembled a "list" of locomotive detail pars suppliers?

I'm not aware of a "list of suppliers", however Precision Scale (PSC) has/had a VERY extensive list of all their various O Scale parts. There really are not that many suppliers of O Scale detail parts for steam locomotives. 

I may venture into 3D printing and casting some parts.

Thanks.

If you are going to build, modify, or upgrade O gauge steam engines you must have a Precision Scale Catalog.  The catalog used to cost $25 but can now be downloaded for free:

Its around 400 pages long.  Also in the kit section of the catalog there are useful drawings of how different types locomotive appliances are piped.

Steven Preservation lines also has a large selection of o scale steam parts and he's good to deal with

The old Back Shop lost wax castings are available from Wiseman Model Services.  He is also good to deal with

His website is a bit more difficult to navigate but will find some great O Scale stuff as you poke through it.
