Spare parts for LGB coach

I have a red and cream LGB coach I need some spares for. There's no indication of a model number, although at one end of the carriage, top left of the door, the figures 3011 are cast in. I suspect it is a starter coach as the door hinging is pretty basic.

One door refuses to close fully and I think this is because the hinge pin (which runs the full height of the door) is bent. Is it possible to get replacements for these?

Secondly the brake handle is missing off one balcony, and, again, I would like to replace it. The one on the other balcony looks pretty similar to this one:

and I wonder if it is.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
That is probably the correct brake standard, most of the old coaches and vans use the same one, but there is a shorter version used on the ToyTrain wagons and coaches.

Can't you just bend the hinge pin straight again? If not just make your own from a length of rod with one end hammered on a vice or if you have one a rivet snap.

These coaches only had a brake handle at one end so the coach is complete. If you remove the body from the underframe you can pull out the door rod. As Steve says, just hammer it straight.
 
Try bit of piano wire if rod is too badly bent, but they usually straighten
 
Many thanks all for the information and advice. I'll give trying to straighten it with a hammer a go and if that doesn't work try to replace it.
