Can someone direct me to some model railroad companies that make detail parts for various locomotives. Thank you

I use Details West parts on every engine I do.
Try the Walthers Catalog, they have many more
Cannon makes EMD parts, they are the top when it comes to EMD cabs, doors, fans and so on.
I looked, but couldn't find a website for Detail Associates or Cannon, but I know both and many more are listed in the Walthers cat.

Thank you. I'm in the process of detailing an RDC and GP38. Hope it works out for me.
Take care

If you look in the Walther's catalog under "Super Detail Parts" you'll find parts not only from Details West, but from a variety of others as well.
Are you detailing these models to match any specific prototype? If you need reference photos, there are loads available on http://rr-fallenflags.org/.

Thank you for the links, I'm going to try Walthers tonight. I looked at Fallen Flags.org and didnt come up with my exact RDC, but I found a few good photos that will help me out. If anyone has pictures of PRSL I need the M-410. I would really appreciate it very much. Thank you everyone!
