Parts for a Lionel 154

Did you try eBay?  Early O gauge Lionel parts are hard to come by.

Try George Tebolt. He has many Prewar parts.  

I tried eBay but nothing. How doI get in touch with George?

Is this the bell?

I have a bell in brass and the hand rail. How long do you want the hand rail?

You need to know if you have early or late.

It is the late version because of the headlight. The hand rails are the same. The bell is different. Any idea who has the 2 parts?

Look for part number 42-150BN for the bell. For the hand rails, you'll most likely need to bend your own from brass rod material.

I am trying to find original parts not NOS or reproductions. I have tried eBay and the two websites I was sent but no luck. Who might carry original parts?

NOS is original parts...New Old Stock....original parts that were never sold.

If you have the bell in nickel that is what I need. The hand rail is for a Lionel 154 and it has stanchions. Both pieces need to be nickel. Since I don’t have the car yet I could not give you a length.

Nick hi,

If looking for original parts, the bell used on the 154 was the same as any early 150 series such as 150,152,153 to my knowledge, so you may have to buy a junker cab to get that. In regards to the hand rails for a 154, I checked my own verses the smaller say 152 and your right, there is a difference in length. May also have to settle for a junker cab? An option would be clean the stanchions down to original brass and install brass hand rails (which you may really like).  If going with a new nickel bell facsimile Hennings and Olsens have them but the center support will probably be cotter style pin? Hope it helps.
