I have a few Rivarossi NYC F units. I have put decoders and sound in them and now looking for detail parts. Anyone know where I get parts? I’m looking for shiny air grills, grab irons and such. I was told of detail associates but cant find a website.
Hello NYC,
I suggest you try www. Walthers.com. They have detail parts from many manufacturers including Detail Associates.
Hope this helps and good luck on your detailing projects.

Need parts? Try here:
Rivarossi has an F unit? I think I remember an O scale one that Atlas imported, Can you give some more details? There was that wave of bankruptcy and consolidation so it may have been sold under a different name, but right now I would say Rivarossi doesn’t have one.
Yes we need to define and refine just what model it is you seek to detail. Rivarossi has, or had, E units. They also had Fairbanks Morse C Liners which somewhat resemble an F unit in general covered wagon styling, but are not EMD and EMD specific detail parts won’t work. I can’t recall if they offered the semi-accurate FT that made the rounds of a few trainset manufacturers for a time. That is an EMD prototype but I am not sure I’d spend major dollars detailing one. To each his own however.
It sounds like you do not have a Walthers catalog. Sometimes, and detail parts are a good example, the actual paper catalog can be more helpful than an internet search, or even an online search just confined to the Walthers catalog.

What scale are you looking for?? I think Rivarossi made an N-scale F-unit a long time back, but I can’t think of them having made one in HO.
