Hi:


I have a number of the Tyco Plymouth industrial switchers and a couple of them are missing the little cardboard insulators that go on the truck covers. Does anyone know where I can get or how i can make replacements?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I (disclaimer: I've never done this ) would cut little pieces of paper ( note paper,newspaper ) and glue them on to the ends of side truck frame with a water based white glue. You can experiment with different thickness and easily remove any mistakes. Once dry they will insulate well enough. You can color them with a sharpie black pen which will also insulate.
Post here how you eventually solve this problem.
Good luck!

P.S. more than you wanted to know: "Will This Tyco Plymouth Switcher From the 60's Run Again?"
