I need to get some thrust bearings for the axles in the trucks of an SW9. What are the best places to look for these? Are there any locomotives with compatible parts which have recently been scrapped where those could be salvaged? And/or should we be looking into one of the roller bearing conversion kits I've heard about but never seen?

Thanks for the pointer. I contacted them - no luck there.

Anywhere else that might have these?

I sent you an e-mail through this site, check it.

I know someone that may have some.
