Pick-up roller for 3620 searchlight car? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Keith LOGR Forum Member

After about 55 years, my Lionel 3620 searchlight car needs a new pick-up roller. (The things just don't last.) However, I can't determine the correct one to get.

The parts list for the 3520/3620 in the Lionel Service Manual doesn't break out the pick-up roller. I've also looked at the websites of the various parts suppliers, but haven't been able to identify the pick-up roller there either.

Any ideas where/how I can find out the part number?

Cheers!

TCL-44 if the roller has the axle.

I haven't removed it, and my eyes aren't so good anymore, but it looks to me like the type that rotates on a pin.

I have one of those(3620). That looks like a 481 base plate coupler and roller

assembly. The roller should be 481-11 and the pin 481-12.

Then the roller would be 481-11 and the axle pin is 481-12.

The roller assembly alone lists as #481-6

The complete baseplate with coupler and roller installed is #481-10
