The parts breakdown for the locomotive is here, the motor is here, and the tender is here, pages 185 and 186. This looks like the replacement pickup assembly used on the tender.

Brasseur has the pickups for the loco and tender.

Roller pickup for plastic trucks?
Posted by Boyd on Thursday, October 16, 2014 11:45 PM

Is there a number for the add on roller pickup for the center rail of plastic Lionel freight trucks? I have one on one car but one tab broke. I got a free late 80s set with a 8902 DC only engine and both of the fixed brass pickups are broken off. My plan was to add roller pickups to the trucks on the tender. I will probably order a few for other projects or to help an engine make it through long switches. Does anyone on Ebay list them on a regular basis?
