Model Railroading > Alco steam generator parts

In my search for rooftop steam generator castings for my MILW FT diesels I have been told someone, perhaps P1K made castings for FA and PA diesels which were separate so the modeler could apply them to locomotives for passenger service and leave them off for freight units.

Does anyone remember these? The intake vent was square with a flat top and rounded edges. Anyone have spare they would part with?

Thanks.

Can you provide a prototype photo or a link with a photo?

Victor,

Unfortunately, no. All 5 of the 4 unit sets assigned to Milwaukee Roads Idaho Division had steam generators in the B units to make them dual service locomotives.

A couple of the recent MILW Rd diesel roster books have some distant images of the units in freight action with nothing well defined.

I just looked at some FT photos at the MRHA convention and found nothing their either.

Thanks.
