Looking for repair diagrams recent Lionel O

[Roger Bielen]

Some products have the item/model number on the bottom of the car.  If not call Lionel service and ask/tell them what you need.

Hi folks,

My kids got a Polar Express set by Lionel this Christmas and enjoy it a lot. However, clumsy me was walking through their layout to get to the tv. (They currently have it on the floor.)  Well, I twisted by ankle and went crashing to the train! The engine and tender tipped over along with the some of the cars.  Long story short-the wheels on the back of the tender came off (the set that couples to the passanger cars, not the set that couple to the engine).  I can see how they are supposed to fit in.  Each side of the axel has a small, square piece of plastic that slip over the pointed ends of the axel, then they squares slide into the frame of the of the truck.  I have been all over Lionels sight looking for a service bulletin for this tender so that I can order the parts, if not the whole rear truck.  I also need to replace the Observation railing that goes onto the back of the Observation car, the last car in the set.  

I see on Lionels site that everything has part numbers, model numbers, etc.  They thing I can't figure out is how they assign a product number for their pieces.  The box for the set has a product number (don't remember offhand) but no model numbers for any of the individual components inside.  Maybe if I can find another set that uses the same tender and find a diagram for that, I can go from there.  

 

Anyone have any ideas?

I'd prefer to attempt this repair myself, but if I have to take it in, I will.

Thanks!
