Anyone know where I can find the parts that go under this little metal plate.  I recently got a Lionel 681 that is missing all the smoke generation parts. I can find a smoke unit and arm but dont know exactly whats under the metal plate I have circled in the pic below.  One video says its the magnet for the magnatraction.  Havent been able to find that part anywhere, or a good exploded diagram anywhere for a 681 that denotes those parts.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.Lionel681Chassie_1

I looked at the trainz.com diagram. I have a 671-RR which I understand is a 681 made during WWII without magnetraction due to parts restrictions. If I put that magnet in the 671-RR, will that give it magnetraction?

Sorry didn’t mean to hijack the thread, but my question kinda fits in.

671RR was made during the Korean War. ( 1952 ) well after WWII. If you really want magnetraction, there’s a ton of 681 chassis available on the secondary market. You could also contact forum sponsor Trainz parts dept. and inquire about a whole chassis less motor. That would be the easiest thing to swap.
