Scratch building a brass locomotive

Thanks for all the help

Bowser still lists some steam loco parts, including 62 inch drivers, a rivet tool, and I think I saw some rivets.  Here is a link to those items: http://www.bowser-trains.com/docs/Prices/Bowser%20HO%20N%20Prices.htm

Try Precision Scale.  They should have most, if not all, of what you need.

I remember that 4-6-0.  I saw it in person shortly after the articles came out.  Nice loco, but it had one of the worst paint jobs that I've ever seen.  Well, that and the NC&StL F's a few years later....

The british modelers have access to all of that.... Alan Gibson models, Romford etc....

Not off hand.  Try the big Walther's catalog, try magazine advertisements, try Google, try some train shows, you might find a junker steam locomotive with the right size drivers and other parts.  Valve gear rivets ought to be around, made for other purposes. Try googling on just plain rivet, or "rivet 1/16 inch"

I have been buying old model railroader magazines at train shows and I found the ones from November 1997-May 1998 with articles on scratch building a 4-6-0 but I don't know where to find the 61' drivers, the valve gear rivets, the leading truck wheels, and some other parts. Does anyone have an idea where I could find these parts fairly cheap?
