Help Needed: big horn sheep & 4-4-0 pilots (cow catchers)

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

I am searching for HO scale Colarado Big Horn sheep and plastic pilots to replace two broken ones from two earlier version of AHM/Rivarossi 4-4-0’s. I want to buy both, anywhere…

The locomotive shells are plastic.

I can’t find either anywhere, and thought I’d get some direction from the pros.

Thanks-
Eric

I can’t help with the sheep. but Precision Scale should be able to help you with the pilots. They have started releasing some of their parts in plasdtic, or you could probably use a brass one if nothing else. And check out their HOn3 ones too, they should work on the smaller old timersd.

Eric,
I think you will have to modify the rams from Preiser 590-14161 or 590-14411 Sheep by adding horns made of Sculpey or similar acrylic clay. You may want to drill holes and insert curled wire to serve as an armature for the horns. Maybe some
Great Northern fan has another suggestion.
