I am looking for Walschaerts valve gear hangers for my brass steam locomotive project.  Specifically the ones pictured on the above website.  I believe they are called "long hanger or long beam".  PSC has Walschaerts valve gear hangars, but they dont quite look like the same ones PSC #32549.

Any one know where I might be able to find those?

Check with Greenway Products. Sometimes they have hard-to-find parts available.

You might be able to get something useable out of this assembly?

That kind of looks like it.  For $2.00 worth the shot.

I found video of the locomotive I am looking to build.  8mm film on youtube @7:10:

It appears Sunday River Productions had the video remastered and cleaned up.  A lot of the shots appear in 4-4-0 to superpower video, albeit with sound and cleaner picture.
