Suggestions, Ideas, Recommendations MTH PS3 4-8-4 drawbar

 I believe that a train store (Ready to roll in Miami?) made a lock for just this reason? I'll try and find it. Would a zip tie work?

Use a piece of clear tubing. This can be obtained at any hardware store. I use this on many of my steamers

MTH now has a rectangular rubber drawbar retainer.  Your local ASC should have them.

What NSP154  said    works and works good. also cheap and available at hardware store.

Brice and Clem...I don't understand....sorry...do you have a photo and how it would be used on the engine?

Thank you both!

Do you have picture or part number?  What is ASC?

John hope this helps............. Vinyl tubing sold by the foot 1/4" OD X .170" ID ...........Clem

Try different types some may be stickier than others or slightly different ID. I bought mine at the local hardware.

Clem:  THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! for going to all that trouble to help me.  I can't believe that a small piece of tubing like that keeps the "ends" connected.  I'm glad that it works for you.  I hope that it works for me.  THANK YOU  again!
