Post subject:  Wick pads for Thrust Bearing on Alco RS1

Thanks to help we have obtained some Journal pads, but we need some of what I call the wick pads (2"x9"x1") for the Thrust Bearings. The wick sticks through to hold in place. Need at least 3, but would like to find all eight. Any help on locating is appreciated. Thanks, Drake Rice, Oklahmoa Railway Museum.<br>
