Can I buy parts for my Athearn GP? Looking for these for a GP I bought on eBay last year. Didn't notice they were missing until now.
BTW, what are they? Brake pumps?

Those are the brake cylinders that press the brake pads against the wheels via linkage.
Probably have to order the entire truck side frame...

You can give Athearn customer service a call. If they have any left, they may be able to help you.
I had the same problem with a lot of the used Flexi-Coil trucks having missing or broken brake cylinders. I called Athearn, they gave me the part # for 4 brake cylinders at $2 a set. I ordered 20 sets, they were at my door a week later.
