Where to get parts for older Lionel 4-4-2?

What's the model # of the 4-4-2 you want to fix?

And do you want the original style replacement parts, or do you want to modify it to look like the pic on the right?

I'm not sure what the model number of the loco on left is, I bought it from a set break up. The set number is 7-11291. I'd like to replace the valve gear with the one on the right, which I believe is an 8800. I think it will make it look a lot better, then I'm going to modify the tender to make it an oil burner. Here is a link to the loco I bought on eBay:

Not sure what you need, but I would call or email Jeff at the Train Tender.  He will set you up or tell you where to go for what you need.  Most helpful parts guy I've ever encountered.

They're both modeled on different valve gear.  The one on the left looks closer to prototype for what is being modeled than the one on the right.

Sorry to say but not possible. Where the valve gear would fit in the steamchest on the 8800, there is just a empty space on the newer version, as the crosshead guides are built into the front truck plate. Also the rods are longer on the 8800. Two completely different locomotives.

Actually, that makes it easier since I won't need the whole valve gear setup, just the main rods. Then I can modify the crosshead to accept a screw, shorten the rods a bit, and I'm done

Cheers,
