Does anyone recognize these throttle and reversing lever assemblies? Are they supplier parts or perhaps custom made?
Tks,
Brian
Who’s parts are these?

Re: Who’s parts are these?
Are you asking whether these are from outside suppliers or from the locomotive builders. As far as I know, it's the builders. I have a prototype Alco assembly drawing of the throttle lever arrangement with dimensions for the USATC Consolidations. It's similar, but not identical.

Hi Dick,
I was wondering if they were sold by any of our suppliers to the hobby.
Thank you,
Brian

Ok, just looked up the prototype, T&NO C-9 some built by Alco. I’m interested in what you might have Dick.
Puzzled as to how one would make those compound curves and such.

Send a note with your email address.
Most of the parts are forged. That may mean complex shaping with different thicknesses and slots on a drop hammer, or just bent from bar stock.

Hi Dick,
These parts are on a 1-1/2” scale Consolidation. They sure look nice. I was wondering how to go about replicating them.
I’ll send you a note with my email.
Thanks,
Brian
