So, I just got a Kato SD40-2 (HO Scale) and it's missing a brake cylinder. I got it used, so there's no receipt and no warranty. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement? Kato only sells the trucks (and appears to be running out of them soon) for $25, and I just need that one brake cylinder!

Kato uses the same brake cylinder for the SD40 and Dash 9 (and possibly other models as well, but I don't own any of those)

Ebay currently has listings for other EMD unit truck parts -

Here is a GP35 truck parts set "buy it now" for $9.50

not sure if the brake cylinders are the same...

Thanks, but that's a bit steep considering I only need one!

EDIT: I just found the same part on Kato's site. It won't fit since it says it fits GP35 Original/Revised. Looking at the mounting holes, the SD40-2 uses a smaller rectangular peg while the GP35 uses a larger round peg.
