Bachmann 0-6-0 pilot replacment?

So I am looking at my Bachmann 0-6-0 that I never completed. Its close enough to the B&M switcher on display in Lowell that I think I will try and make the conversion. My first goal is to replace the clunky pilot with something more scale. Does anyone know of where to get a high quality blunk pilot/foorboards for this engine?

Look for old Micro-Trains pilot conversions. Most of the time you will find them at shows vice an upto-date LHS.

Daniel,
 The pilot I used on mine was leftover parts from an Undec Model Power steamer. The MT pilot is a good idea also. They are still available the last time I ordered one for our shop, it may be hanging on the wall still.

Walthers has them in stock currently - http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/489-130011

the conversion I have is 1047 for the atlas/rr 0-4-0.

I recall it was that I used on one conversion.

That is really a very nice switching pilot... if it could be adapted to a 0-6-0 or other switchers it could prove to be very valuable overall!!!

I wouldna mentioned it iffin I couldna.

yeah I am willing to sent it out for a small pair of considerations.

one is that you have to share a photo or two of your loco when you have it on there.
the other is that you pay me what I did for it and the shipping if I can't hand it to you.
 :D  now guess what I paid....
