There is a US firm - BLMA? - who make etched brass sets for a number of locos. These kits include wipers, mirrors, visors, vents and similar. Whilst not all are "just right" for non US locos, at our scale, IMHO, they can work cos they are so tiny.

N Gauge Society do the Taylor ones, I believe........

BH Enterprises certainly have etched brass windscreen wipers. For some reason their website is down at the moment. But I'm sure they're still in business; they were at the South West Herts Model Railway Society show just a couple weeks ago.

Word of warning though: their etched brass windscreen wipers are tiny! Get twice as many as you think you'll need. Drop them or bend them badly and that's it!
