Dep,

I'm sorry to hear it. Maybe all is not lost. The rollers are an easy fix and the steps on my 681 are attached to the guide under the drawbar hook held to the cab by 2 rivets. Maybe you can pick up a set. I do not know what you can do about the touch ups. Do you think reaching out to the seller would result in anything positive?

How do you replace the rollers????

The replacement steps look to be held on with a machine screw-nut arrangement. I'm not gonna bother with the seller. Never does much good. I'll fix her up nice...no sweat Thumbs Up [tup]

Dep,

If they are the type that are connected to 2 spring tension arms, one in each direction, the rollers are held in place by rivets on the arms. They can be replaced independent of the arms or you can replace everything. Jeff Kane from the Train Tender has most every part imaginable as does others. I use Jeff, he is knowledgeable and willing to talk to you about what you need. His info is listed online at www.ttender.com, prices are reasonable too. There's many more just google model train parts.

Good luck

Mike

Awww geez...I can't mess with Jim. He's been real nice to me getting the 6200 decals for my new S2 and lots of good advice. Maybe he's turned over a new leaf? Thumbs Up [tup]

nah - Jim's still a horse's butt - but he's a good fellow anyway. However, If that leaf he turned over was in his backyard there is probably a coffee can full of dough buried beneath it.

I'll trade the 682 for Jim's address and the F3s that he turned down. Big Smile [:D]

Dep,

No need to pay me. It set me back all of $2.00! Really, I don't want your money. Spend it on a set of new rollers and brushes for your 682. Glad I could help!

 Dep, 

I was remembering your comments in this thread from end of last year. 

I thought maybe you had your eye on one of the Century Club models again! :D.

 

Dave: You gotta think about becoming a fortune teller. Today I nailed a CC 671 S2 turbine new in box from Trainz. Big Smile [:D] Now I gotta search for the correct Pennsy tender for it. Anyone know the part number???

Also, Trainz has a 682 turbine on E-Bay:
