3376 Bronx Zoo Giraffe Car parts?

I have a 3376 Giraffe Car (early version, dual coupler) which is missing all the internal parts save the giraffe. Where can I find all the replacement parts, as well as the activating pole?

Thanks!

Good morning! I would try Jean at HOLLASTRAINS@AOL.COM. They have helped me with all kinds of parts, if they don’t have them they will find it for you. Just shot them e-mail with your info!

Good luck!!

You can also try Jeff Kane at:

I recommend him as do many others. Just for you info, the tell-tale is just part of the activation. You can actually make your own trip for either the giraffe car or the elephant car with either a piece of brass wire bent with a slope at each end, or with a piece of wood.

I used brass wire to make a less visable activation trip and then on my Lionel Short Extension Bridge, I used a long piece of bass wood to make another one. The advantage of making your own is that the Lionel one is very short and just makes the giraffe dip his head for a brief moment. A longer trip will make the action more noticable.
