    Hey Vince, I think I know what you are referring to, these?
    Looking through my DTW catalog, they have one under "BE-135"

    From looking up NW/SOU units, it looks to be a pretty close match to them.

    Hope that helps!

    Hmmm... There's also "BE-129" or "BE-176" ...176 looks a little too "skinny" than the photos...

    Hood side is different that the long hood mount style might end up using it though unless I can find a resin printer to make the one I need

    Appreciate it though Deer

    Hey Vince,

    I found a new parts maker on the block that is HO scale and has mostly NS parts.
    There is a pretty good candidate for your bell that you're after, Wallace Locomotive Works
