About ten years ago I acquired a used 2005 K3380-1361TC. A couple of years ago, a part of the left side linkage got jammed for some reason. It appears this was caused by a connecting bracket that loosened. I removed the shell, and then tightened the screw that fastened the bracket to the chasis. The loco ran well after that for a while but now and then the connecting linkage would jam. I found that one side of the underside of the bracket was bent slightlly but just enough to allow the bracket to move no matter how much force to the screw. I have searched the web and Brasseurs sight but no luck. I cannot find a part diagram to get a part number. Photos to be added.
I am wondering:
1. Has anyone parted out this model?
2. Because Lionel used the K-line chasis for its Legacy version, perhaps the part is the same and available from Lionel, but difficult to get a, diagram to get part number.
Any suggestions? BTW, I removed the connecting swing arm but left the bracket attached and the loco runs well as is.
