My web nw2 broke a spring in the knuckle coupler. Is there a replacement? Thanks and happy new year!

It isn't listed on the Bachmann web-site as a separate sale item. They only have complete coupler assemblies listed for sale. You could contact them to see if they have them. If they don't have them, then my suggestion would be to look on eBay for Lionel springs and rivets and give that a try. A message to Brasseur's or another parts supplier may get you a suitable replacement if you are unsure about buying the Lionel parts.
Thank you! I checked the bachmann website and saw the coupler assembly (sold out of course). Brasseur was my next choice.
The Bachmann Williams parts system stinks They are sold out of everything I have two engines that needed parts I just bought a junker from Trainz on Ebay to use for parts

I don't know about the "stinks" part, one way or another, but eBay is always my first stop for "parts" when it seems reasonable to find what I need. Buying a junker can make sense - auto restorers - and operating RR museums - do it all the time. But the individual parts can show up, too.
WBB NW2's use what is essentially the "standard" (actually, "typical") 3RO coupler mounting scheme. You do not necessarily need a WBB/Wms coupler. Check out the mount and measure the length. Those things are the important points.
I put ERR and Lionel E'couplers in my ICG WBB NW2 - couplers dropped right in.
Thanks for the input; is the coupler arm measured for oal?
