Lego locomotive Radiators

[yoshi98bc]

I see lego has a actual lego train round radiator part but is not very available. What is everyone using for round lego diesel locomotive radiators? Thanks

Are you talking about the round fans on top of the locomotive for the radiator and/or dynamic braking?

[yoshi98bc]

Yes.

Well, the one in the Santa Fe Super chief and BNSF disesl sets are stickers, but I've found some workarounds: (photo's from Bricklink)

This one I used on my ALCO PA / PB booster locomotives:

This one could be used on any number of diesels with a white, red, or dark red color scheme.

This one will be used on my GM Electro Motive FT demonstrator #103, and can also be used on remakes of the Santa Fe Super Chief:

If you want a more exact match to the Super Chief, try this piece:

If you prefer stickers like the original set, than look here for the part and about six others like this:

Thank you for the links Murdoch, I have been using the circular tiles in the engine intakes from my X-wing but only for temporary builds, then they have to go straight back...

Star Wars printed round tile works too.
