I have two F.E.D. 0-4-0T (brass) switchers from my childhood. I've rebuilt lots of locos over time, but these two projects keep staring at me from above the workbench. They were imported from Japan by NWSL from 1974-1984; of course NWSL has long been out of parts for something this old/small/obscure.
I can fab everything else I need to make these like new, I'm just stuck on the motor brushes.
Does anyone know where I can get motor brushes that might fit these (cute) little guys? The brushes are .115 in (2.92mm) in diameter and appear to be .16 in (3.96 mm) in length. Longer ones could be cut down in length, of course.
[Athearn brushes are way too wide (.127 in/3.22 mm)].
Thanks in advance. Ken (rosanitty)
