    Need some help identifying this part on the GS4. I purchased a white metal one several years back from RLW, but only one at the time and for the life of me, can’t remember the name of it. I need a few more for some scratch builds and a source for purchase since RLW has closed their doors.

    Could be part of the lubrication system . N&W 578 has a similar box on each side in that location that has lube for the valve gear I think . Mike

    Found it….. part of a Worthington SA feedwater pump system. Now to find a vendor that still casts them.

    While not a cast part, ConCor had a warbaby GS-4 that has what appears to be that part (in the Kato GS-4, the part was covered with streamlined plating). I would try there and see if you can still get one from them.

    Looking at my cast part, it looks to be an easy scratch build with some styrene if I can’t find more.
