Locomotive bell, 4/3.5mm scale [Heljan?]

[45568]

I need a bell for a small steam dock tank locomotive. I know Heljan supplied one with the 1366 pannier, but does anyone have a model locomotive bell they can send me? I include 3.5mm HO in the request as I know many American steam/diesel locos have these fitted and I could easily adapt one for my purpose. Willing to reimburse costs etc.

Thanks in advance,

Peter C.

You might be able to find what you are looking for as a ship modelling detail.  I think the ones the Merkans gave to King George V and Royal Scot are probably too big for dock shunters.

I suspect these might all be too big

Have you tried searching for HO gauge locomotive bell? eBay came up with a number of options, leading to various American manufacturers who produce a wide range of them, such as this selection from Bowsers' catalogue http://www.bowserorders.com/.sc/ms/sch/ee?search=Bell&go.x=19&go.y=9&go=go or you can try this website for more brass castings in their details catalogue http://www.customfinishingmodels.com or Wiseman Model Services.
