I AM IN NEED OF A FIREMAN SIDE MAIN ROD AND CROSSHEAD ASSEMBLY FOR A VINTAGE MANTUA READING PACIFIC. THIS WOULD BE FOR THE BRASS BOILER VERSION. THE CROSSHEAD PC IS BRASS. INTERESTED IN PURCHASING OR I HAVE PLENTY OF GOOD PARTS TO TRADE. LAST PIECE NEEDED TO COMPLETE THIS LOCO. THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ.

Check the bowser catalog. Measure your enginer's side and see what matches up with your needs. Maybe you would want to replace both sides so they look the same.

I AM TRYING AS HARD AS I CAN TO MAKE IT COMPLETELY ORIGINAL. I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF CHALLENGER MAIN RODS THAT I COULD MAKE WORK BUT THE BIG ISSUE WITH GOING THAT ROUTE IS THE CROSSHEAD SLIDE PARTS WOULD HAVE TO BE CHANGED AS WELL. I HAVE LASO TRIED YARDBIRD TRAINS BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS EITHER. FOR NOW IT WILL HAVE TO BE A ONE-SIDED DISPLAY PIECE. THANKS FOR YOUR THOUGHTS.
