I have two steam locomotives, one is a recent Weaver light Mikado and another is a post-war Atlantic (I think). On both of them there are problems with the rear truck mount. The mount appears to be bolted to the chassis but goes through a curve in the truck so I it can swing side to side... sometimes there is a spring in there too. What is that mount called? Anyhow it is either missing or sheared off these engines. It looks like I can still run the engines without this piece but is that not suggested, at least if reversing? Any idea where I can get parts if needed?
