So I have misplaced a small plastic $3.00 part (6109105054) from a LIONEL 15" full dome car. LIONEL's website says North Lima Train Works has the part and they do. They also have a "standard" $9.00 s&h charge for all orders.
I'm usually very careful when disassembling anything to bag all parts (and tag them if appropriate), but for some reason the little black "door" (LIONEL's terminology) has gone AWOL/MIA. If it comes to it, I'll pay the piper. Hopefully, there may be other parts I need and can get them at the same time. Hennings charges $4 and Olsen's $3.95, by comparison.
Anyone have a better alternative for getting this part?
Meanwhile, I'll resume the S&A mission to save the $12.
