Just starting to look for the pin lifter that is used on f-unit front ends, the ones that pass below the coupler. I can't place that I've seen these done, but they haven't been on my radar until now. Looking for these in HO
Thx Lyle D

Lyle, I think what you need can be found in either the Cal-Scale 190-519 or the Detail Associates DK-701 packet.

Those are detail sets for f-units with all the grabs, etc, but I don't believe they come with a pin lifter. I will investigate none the less
Thx

Not sure of the availability, but I think the Details West part #CL-316 may be what you are looking for.

I'll see if there is one at my LHS and check it out. What I am looking to do is create the front end lifter for a CF-7. The f-unit lifter was re-used on the CF-7 with some 'rearranging'. I found that Cal-Scale makes a plastic molded one, not sure I could reshape the bar, but perhaps it could be cut out and replaced with a wire counterpart

The DW part is metal, so you may be able to modify it to suit your needs.

I've just ordered a Cal-Scale version of the same last night, gonna see if can get the same results as you. I may see if I can locate a Genesis version too as a backup. Any chance you have Athearn's part # for the lifter?

Got the Cal-Scale version, looks pretty good. Was able to put a bend in the front one and a pair of bends for the rear one, I'm pleased with the results. Photos will be supplied soon'ish
