You might try Miniatures by Eric.  He has several different types.
Here's a side mount

The bell from an Atlas SD24/26 would work. You'll need to file the back flat, but it's pretty much dead on for what you want.  I use them for bells on low nose cab units with bells between the number boards.

You might want to look at Shapeways (3D Printing) too. There is a sizeable N-Scale offering. I recall that there are a number of different bells and other details parts available.

Of course, EBay has detail parts too.

I like Eric's stuff because it is cast metal like the Sunrise parts used to be.  Stands up to handling and storage a lot better than plastic parts.

I like Eric's parts even better than Sunrise, because they are made from brass. Sunrise were made from some sort of soft white metal (Pewter?). Brass is much sturdier.

Thanks guys, think I will get a few different kinds of these and see what looks best. Have been meaning to try some of Eric's stuff

Well that's why the bloody things are so hard to cut... forgot they were brass...
