hello, i need recommendations for Polar Express RTR puffer unit spring replacements. The one i had was not pushing the plunger out and was sticking. Anyone have links to springs i could use in replacement? Preferably stronger ones. The one i had i cant find anymore so i cant do any modifications to the spring i had.
ok, thanks for the advice everyone!

With Lionels flat rate shipping. That will cost $11 for that spring.
That spring is in lots of modern era puffers scale and semi scale alike, if not all of them.
I'd put out a "wanted" ad on the forum for a Lionel puffer unit spring.
There are several guys that do puffer to fan unit upgrades, and probably have bins full of those springs, as well as entire puffer units sitting around collecting dust. They'd probably send you the whole unit for less than the spring at Lionel.
I have a box of puffers on the shelf...
