Acutally need to see a bit more to the front of the locomotive and a larger image would help.

Unfortunately I just packed my Marx six coupled locomotive away so I can’t look at it and comment.
In general it seems like an OK list, other than that I do see a side rod in the image, so I don’t know why you would want another one unless it is bent or something.

You might be better off posting this question over on the Classic Toy Trains Forum general discussion. Many more people who know about MARX over there.

Looks like less than $20 you could order one of each and be sure to be certain to have what you need?

I agree with Texas Zepher…post on the Classic Toy Trains forum there and you may have better luck. This forum is mroe for HO and N scale.
