Consider yourself lucky because others of us have not been so fortunate.
Back in the Jurassic when DC ruled, wireless draw bars were quite popular.
As, I believe, were weird proprietary drawbar couplings that could break unpredictably and were difficult to fix or impossible to get parts for.
Even older locomotives could be a âwireless drawbarâ problem. My beloved Mantua Pacific had a fiber drawbar, which would break if a kid looked at it a bit too intently the wrong way. When I was little, I had no idea that you could change this yourself ⌠or substitute something on a more durable nature that didnât have an exorbitant profit margin already baked in. Oh, to have known then what I know now!
