I recently acquired Lionel Berkshire Jr 6-28656. The tender trailing truck is missing a tiny plastic piece which keeps the pointy axle in place. I found a diagram of an S scale repair parts list and #29 is what I'm looking for, but in O scale. Anyone familiar with this little plastic piece and know how to identify it? Lionel says "axle bearing, plastic, pilot, trailing truck" on the S scale page, but I can't find it anywhere else. See #29 in this link- https://www.lionel.com/custome...c1-80ef-d468105d1d76

Some followup- I ordered and installed the part, I am up and running.  However, the part is not identical to the other plastic axle bearings which are original equipment and still in  place for the other axle in the same truck.  The replacement pieces are actually shallower than the original such that the pointy end of the axles are visible and the tips are barely restrained in place.  There is a lot of slop in the fitment and I'm concerned the axle could pop off under heavy load.  I paid $1.60 for the two bearings and $10.00 in shipping, so not ordering any others until these fail.  Wait and see, I guess.
