We could use your help

We have a few projects we're looking at doing in the near future.
However we are having great difficulty in locating a certain car part.


This would be an old Branchline Trains part. The ACF "Carbuilder" end.
We could use 4-5 of these car ends, A or B end, doesn't matter.
If you have some of these hiding in your parts boxes that you might be willing to part with, please email me at pierre.oliver@elgincarshops.com
And we can discuss options.
Thanks for your consideration
