I am looking for a bell for my Premier Erie Triplex, item 20-3360-1E. The MTH part number for the bell is: FB-1100323. The part is listed as "not available" in the MTH database. Would anyone have this part in stock or possibly have one on a dead engine that they would be willing to sell? For some reason, my engine is missing the bell.
Thank you,
SD3R Ted

I don't have one Ted but it also looks like the bell for my RK Imperial Y6b mallet. It's base is offset from center and maybe someone has one of those that might work. 🤔
Dallas,
Thank you for the input. I have searched the MTH parts database and even purchased several cradles and yokes to try and assemble one. I have worked on these engines in the past and they had bells. Only I would have the luck to buy one missing the bell. MTH probally ran out of bells the day they assembled mine.

Check and see if it’s the same bell used on the Virginian’s triplex ......I know I have a Virginian shell in my mess of stuff,....only problem is, my layout builder is coming this week, so all my parts are tucked up out of his way, so until he’s done, I can’t put my hands on any parts until he’s gone next week.....if you wanna do the leg work and see if that’s the same bell, it MIGHT be on that shell, I remember looking at that shell, but can’t 100% guarantee the bell hasn’t been harvested already.....first thing to check, see if they’re the same or not.....you can PM me if you’d like...

My Triplex was in the Premier 2008, volume 2 catalog. The catalog lists both a Virginian and an Erie but the photo is of the right side of the engine. The bell is on the left-center. I will assume they are the same but then who knows. Your engine might be missing a bell too.
