Here's what you do about lost parts. Just start a new project and begin searching for parts that will work...I will promise that you will find that lost part from the original project. You may not find the part(s) for the new plan, but the old part will turn up! That's my advice and I am stuck to it. Woodie
I've had that problem so many times it's not even funny anymore. As a matter of fact I was just recently doing some work on some old lionel equipment and a gear ( about the size of a dime) disappeared.:tb-biggrin::tb-biggrin:
