<P>I have an old (c. 1970's) Tyco 0-6-0 Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe (with Power Torque!), hehe.</P> <P>I pulled it out of storage and was running it on my son's little track when the Jack Russell decided to eat a fly. As she snapped at the fly she knocked the engine over. In doing so, the springy thing on the back coupler broke off and the two snap connections in the back that holds down the shell have broken off too.</P> <P>1. Can I still get an old Tyco coupler....or would I want to upgrade possibly, and to what?</P> <P>2. Any ideas on how to hold the back of the shell down onto the 'frame'....I guess that's what you'd call it. Right now it is only held down by the screw in front.</P> <P>Any info would be much appreciated.</P> <P>Mike/Nightshade</P>
