I have numerous box cars, reefer cars, and others that are missing detail parts such as door hindges. door locking devises, shafts for doors. etc.
Art there any sources for these types of parts. I have gone to the Ozark site, but I can’t seem to visualize a match with anything they have to offer.
Any help would be greatly accepted.

LGB every individual componant is avalable as a spare part
at Murderouse prices but you would need acsess to the spare parts catalogue.
An acceptable brake stand for the LGB box and flat cars can be fabricated from 1.5 mm bronzing rod a dress snap and a very short piece
of K&S brass tube.
Door hinge rod can probably also be made from a bit of bronzing rod or similar never nad to make one of those so not sure what diameter you would need.

It wouldn’t be a perfect match, but New Bright, Echo, and Scientific Toys rolling stock can be found really cheap on eBay and used for parts. Some of the better brand name parts cars show up on the auctions from time to time. One such parts donor could supply eveything you need for several of your cars. Forums like this one are great. While this is not intended to be a marketplace, it is a great place to make contact with builders who might have exactly what you need.
