Howdy all. In my beer car collecting quest I have come across a couple of PIKO HO Beer cars, they are used and as a result one of them is missing two of it's Bumpers. My research hasn't gotten me anywhere so I throw the question out here, does anyone know the part number for them? Specifically, they are the round, plug in variety.
Any assistance appreciated |

Hi!
I have a Piko loco (BR 55) that came with installed new-style buffers, but the goodies bag included old-style buffers.
I don't know if those buffers also fit the beer cars, but it should be easy to find the spare part numbers for the loco.
Are you looking for old-style or new-style buffers? |

Are you looking for old-style or new-style buffers? The car itself is not very old, a few years at most, so I imagine the newer style plug in. I have seen other new Piko with what appears to be the same plug in |

I had a Piko tank car with a broken handrail and Piko was very helpful in getting a replacement part to me.
Send them an email. I am sure that they will help you with your model.

Well I heard back from Piko USA, I can order the part from them for a mere $3.99 for a package of 8, so alls well.
For those who might ever be interested, the part number is 56081 |
