Which scale? Little Engines made both 1" and 1 1/2" scale Atlantics and Pacifics.

did you contact Jesse?

Probably like a few others that have gotten on here asking for LE parts... reached out, no response. I hear some saying they have gotten whatever they needed no problem, and others saying its basically radio silence every time they try to make contact. I don't know what is going on, but communication seems to have suffered.

I have a drawing for a fabricated crosshead. Steel body with bronze slippers.

I'd go the route that Andy suggests with a built up one.
I've heard of several people going with a built up cradle as well due to the availability and high price of a cast bronze one.

FWIW - My Son-in-law called Jesse yesterday with a question regarding the Little Engines Crab boiler, left a message and Jesse returned his call this morning.
