If it's a wireless drawbar, I use a very small cable tie(zip strip) to secure the connection on the railking
ok == i will give it a try
thanks tim
Make sure no pins are bent, make sure connector on tender end is locked into swivel. Drawbar housing not damaged. Draw bar should snap in place. G
The wireless drawbar is cumbersome to attach and remain in position unless it is fully seated. For a Railking engine you might want to try this method. Place a towel near the track you want the engine to be placed. Lay the engine and tender on their sides. Gently slide the drawbar up, away from the retainer spring and make sure it is seated. Gently apply pressure with your thumb to fully seat the drawbar. Next, hold the engine and tender, turn upright and place on the track I know this appears to be time and space consuming, but it works. I would not try it on a Premier Locomotive.
