GP8/10 Hood Bell bracket
I'm wondering if anyone has found a suitable part in HO for the bell bracket found on the nose of the long hood GP7/8 and 10? So far my searches have revealed naught and that I might as well scratch one out of brass or styrene.

I'm talking about the on as seen here on the end of 7597:

Thanks.

The closest ones I can find are the Southern Rwy. style brackets...

Donnie,

Thanks. I had seen those on his site. I just sent a plea to possibly do these in HO with some design modifications to that bracket . One can only hope.

John
