By coincidence I just came across this auction of some on ebay.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-MEW-SHORTIE-CABOOSE-SPARE-PARTS-FOR-FIVE-OTHERS-/310419669963?pt=Model_RR_Trains&hash=item48467443cb
I notice most are zamac but one of them is brass.

Ray,
NICE find on ebay! I wish I had the $$$$ right now as I'd buy that just for 2 of them more, to go with the locomotives I have to go for my logging collection!
