This question came up last October 24th. Just search for "leaf springs" in the search page. |

Landrum has been used by Stone Mountain Park for their 4-4-0's(complete new spring sets), Six Flags for their 4-4-0's(complete new spring sets) and by myself for individual leafs in the repair of a 1937 davenport spring pack. These guys are familiar with building locomotive springs, alignment buttons and shrunk on bands are not a chalenge for them. Landrum Spring Service Inc. P.O. Box 6796 Atlanta, GA 30315 6796 USA Tel: 404-622-9348 Fax: 404-622-2105 Or call: 800-533-2517 |

Interesting you should ask -- I posted a similar question a couple months ago. SCRM's SOU diner #3157 (Pullman 1924) has a couple busted leaf springs, which has taken the car out of service until we can find replacements. We've got a quote from a company in Portland, OR (I think it's called Bender or something similar). Our local WABCO guys are looking around for us, too -- we should be hearing from them in a week or so. What they tell us will determine if we go with the Portland company or someone else. It's been a struggle finding those springs -- thanks to the helpful folks here, we've got some leads finally. |

Try Dendoff Springs in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. They have made leaf springs for the Northwest Railway Museum as well as for several steam locomotives, I think for the CPR 2816 but not sure. http://www.dendoff.com/ Richard W. |

Dear Kelly: We just installed a set from Dendoff, they look nice, but the 97 hasn't gone anywhere with them yet. I also got a quote from Beall Manufacturing near St. Louis, MO. Their price was a bit better, but Dendoff seemed more interested in the job. J.David |
