Mike,
Precision Scale has them in brass, #19017.  I'm sure I've seen others in white metal, but can't seem to find them now.  Aspen Models has a nice one, too, but it's permanently attached to a figure!

Thanks Geoff and Paul, that will help. Tried Wiseman, no luck, got some regular shovels though. I could drop by Scenery Unlimited during lunch, they're not far from where I work, I'll try there first.

Thanks again,
Mike

Mike, I think I got my own from Scenery Unlimited. I ordered a bunch of spike mauls too.

Coal scoops are critically important on the South Park and all firemen know to pack an extra (or two!) along for a trip.

Thanks guys, took the short drive up to Scenery Unlimited and got me some scoops. Had a nice conversation with Don about the recent Symposium, he thought it was one of the best in a while, good layouts and clinics with a good turnout. Wish I could've gone, the next one in Bellevue is a bit much for me but tentatively plan on going 'cause I don't think I'll be doing Pasadena the following year...
