Hello. As the title says, I have a K-Line Union Pacific Big Boy (3790-4015S) and it is not currently in the best shape. When I was much younger (14, I had the engine since I was a kid) and basically didn't know what I was doing , I decided to re-wick the smoke unit and the resistor and capacitor came loose and fell off the board. I am not any good at soldering (I also don't have a soldering iron) so I can't just simply solder new ones back on. I have misplaced those parts along with the funnel for the smoke fluid. I have also lost the (7?) screws that hold the body shell to the engine base. I am wondering where I may find any of these needle in a haystack parts. I found this (https://traindoctor.com/service/kline/kline.php), but don't know what to purchase. I read here (https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/topic/kline-smoke-unit) that the part number for the smoke unit is K3790-X008, but I'm not surprised it doesn't appear to be listed anymore. Does anyone know where I may find either a replacement smoke unit or the needed parts for the smoke unit. If I just need a new resistor and capacitor, which ones do I need. I have a friend that can maybe solder them for me. And does anyone also know what screws I need for the body? Also, I have of course learned to take better care of my trains and parts and not be so careless. Any help in getting this engine back up and running is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
