What holds on the trailing truck and drawbar for a Lionel 1688E? The Olsen diagram is not clear. It looks as though both the drawbar and trailing truck attach at the same point. Is it a screw or rivet or what? Mine is missing whatever the fastener is. Where can I locate a replacement, what do I ask for, and what is the repair procedure?
If you call Jeff at the train tender 585-229-2050 he will sell you the correct part and can probably answer all your questions.
My 1688 has the Tender Drawbar and Trailing Truck (Drawbar above the Truck) held on by a screw with a wide beveled head. The Front, Pilot Truck, uses a snap ring washer as is also used on freight cars.
Hello Thanky!
The part # for the screw is: 1668E-24. Jeff has more 1688 parts that are not listed on his website too.Take Care.
