| Post subject: | VIA car door closer |
We have a couple of bad door closers on our mid-fifties era VIA coaches. For the life of me, I can't seem to find any information on who manufactured them. They appear to be a right bugger to fix - looks like you have to take the door down and disassemble it to replace the closer. If any one has done this job, or has the link to a supplier for the closer, we would be most appreciative. Fred Stevens Steam Railroad Institute

To narrow things down: this is from an ex-CN CCF coach from c. 1955, right? Chris. |

Try New England Door Closer, Inc. New England Door Closer, Inc. 694 Union Street West Springfield, MA 01089 413-733-7889 800-628-1071 Fax 413-731-8368 www.nedoorcloser.com Bought Corbin line of door closer. Rebuilds, parts, replacements. I've only had them work on Corbin closers for WRM, but I'm pretty sure that they could identify your closer and possibly rebuild it if needed. |
