We need driver brake shoes for SVRy #19, an Alco 2-8-2. Our shoes are getting pretty thin. The drivers are 44". The part No. is G4792. Does anyone know of a source of shoes of this size? Did Alco, Lima and Baldwin outsource shoes, or did they each self-source them? Perhaps another NG RR has a tool to cast these for their lokies, be it Baldwin or whatever that will work on our Alcos. We don't want to make a tool for these unless necessary. Of course if available, price is important. Any help out there?
