I have a Odyssey era PS4 that was damaged during shipping. The tender trucks are shattered. The Lionel site shows that frames or complete trucks for this model are unavailable. I dont know the parts landscape or repair options. I would have no issue replacing the trucks and moving the center rail contacts and tender rear coupler mechanism (within reason, dont have a micro machine shop). I would welcome putting sprung trucks on (Noticed Kadee does not have any O gauge trucks or wheels though) or even just using another lionel six wheel truck that is available. Does anyone with more experience have suggestions? Would appreciate it as I would like to understand my options.
On a related topic, to test out the engine itself can I pair it with another Odyssey era tender that also has the wireless tether? Would like to see if the engine runs before putting work into the tender. Come to think of it, can I run the engine without the tender? I have never tried that...
Thanks in advance!
