Are the Lionel TMCC and K-Line GP38 locomotives built from the same tooling? More specifically, Is the dynamic brake blister interchangable between the two? I can not find any parts diagrams for the K-Line units. Lionel list the part as a battery hatch. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes - Lionel made the #6-28855 and 6-28856 Alaska GP38s using K-Line tooling. The replacement dynamic brake blister (aka battery hatch, as the 9v railsounds backup battery is located under the hatch) is part #620-8556-145, and will fit older K-Line GPs as well. Brasseur Electric Trains purchased K-Line's parts inventory, and may have additonal parts.

Thanks John. I checked with Brassures. They didn't have one. I ordered the part directly from Lionel and it arrived today. Fits like a glove.
