does anyone know where I could get stakes for a Lionel flatcar 6-17576?

Thanks!

Those are Standard "O" flatcars     Stakes are part # 600-9823-007.   Trainz has them on ebay for $2.50 a dozen plus shipping

No. Those are the stakes for a completely different flat car.

The correct stakes for the Lionel PS-4 Flat Cars are 610-7573-035.

Brasseur's has them for $1 each.

I already ordered the first number.  Will now try to order the second.

You could probably do stakes, with Plastistrut. Strips and paint.    Used for a different project, Strips are readily available at most hobby stores.   Another source (dimensional bass wood) would be Kappler lumber.

For $1.00 you could make all of the stakes using Plastruct square stock. Thats what I used on my MTH cars.

will be looking for alternative. Brasseur wants $1 per stake and has only 8 - too expensive and too few.

Harold,

     How many do you need?

about 20

Harold,

     Look up my email address in my profile. Send me your address and I will mail them to you. I am sure I have 20 in the basement. I am away for the weekend but I will do it Monday when I get home,

Thanks!  I will email you tomorrow.

Try bass wood which you can get at Local Hobby Shop,  Michaels,or AC Moore. Ive done a few and these cars will be featured in a HOW TO article in and upcoming ORG issue, possibly the next issue. Stay Tuned
