Does anyone reproduce the cast iron cowcatchers for an original Lionel Standard Gauge 380 electric engine? Or does anyone have an original for sale? I am missing one on a 380 that I recently purchased.
Thanks in advance.

Jeff Kane over at the Train Tender ttender.com lists a reproduction 380-33 cowcatcher that you are seeking.
I'd guess that Henning's likely had that one.
@gunrunnerjohn, if Hennings has it, it didn't show up in the search: https://hennings-trains.shopli...d.com/search/380-33/
Henning's has tons of stuff that isn't on the web, that's why you have to call the shop.
I guess I'm from a generation that is new fashioned where it is expected to have reasonably accurate online store listings.
Of course, it was better in the good ol' days where you physically went to the corner general store and had to dictate your shipping list to the clerk to fetch each item from behind the counter à la F-TROOP.
They're putting stuff up all the time, but there are a lot of parts, and not a lot of people entering them. Think about the MTH parts site, and how long they've been at it, still far from complete!
Thanks. I did not see it on Hennings site either. I had not heard of Jeff Kane/Train Tender before. Nice to have a new source of reproduction parts. Thanks again for the help and suggestions.
Jeff is the man, but like anything, please do not go by just wants on his or any other persons parts webpage. There are soooo many parts, its hard to list everything. A simple email or phone call is best if its not listed. Jeff had many of the Lionel OO parts I needed and none were listed on the webpage. But a quick email got me the needed parts to fix my trains.

Is the cowcatcher for a 380 the same as a 318? Or a 402/408? The reason I am asking is that there are a few original 318/402/408 parts frames on Ebay that have original cowcatchers. Thanks again for the help.
Thanks, bmoran4. That is a great chart and will be saved. I appreciate the continued information.
