Hey y’all, my big boy has somehow lost its bell. Part number 610-1434-403. Does anyone seem to have a spare?? Very much appreciated! Lionel does not have part.

An appropriate bell should be easy to get, you might have to create the bracket, I didn't find any suitable ones in my looking.
@gunrunnerjohn I couldn’t find just the bell for sale. I still have the bracket and it still has the threads to screw the bell on, so no need for a bracket. But is there an alternate part number or bell you suggest?
Just guessing, but you might try the bell from another Lionel Union Pacific Big Boy steam engine or maybe a Challenger 4-6-6-4 or an FEF 4-8-4 Northern.

@MELGAR I just looked at the bell for the Challenger and it looks to be about the same. But it is not threaded. Is this the correct size bell for the big boy and would I be able to just glue it to the threaded yoke?
$3 on Lionel parts.

Huge thanks to @gunrunnerjohn for knowing what part number I needed to order for the bell for my Vision Line Big Boy! Perfect fit, screwed right on. Might Loctite is this time!

Since I have a spare for mine, I happened to have one handy.
