oil burner restoration big boy owners....have a question about the drawbar

jini5OGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBER

While running my restoration big boy 20-3807-1 (I think) my drawbar somehow fell apart. The tender and passenger cars were being pulled by the wires feeding the drawbar. I am assuming this just over time vibrated loose. When I discovered the problem the screw that holds the wireless drawbar to the loco was fully seperated from the loco. I reinstalled the screw but I believe there is supposed to be a spring and some washers. Heres a few pics. Can you pleasse tell me if there is a spring missing and maybe some washers? A few pics would be nice. I have searched the tracks looking for a spring but cant find one. I am not sure if there is supposed to be one. MTH website does not show an exploded view of this loco. I only seen a ps2 version on MTH's site, Any help is appreciated.
