Can't get on-line manual for my PS3 engine - how can I???

Understand it is MTH. Does this help Walt?

I clicked on your MTH link and got exactly what I was getting before.  I cut it so I could paste it here to show:

No. 261 & No. 262 Steam
™ Ready-To-Run Set

BUT.... when I clicked on the Lionel link that you supplied I got this:

No. 269E O Gauge

BUT.....  It's not the MTH built PS3 one.  It's for an older style Lionel built one.

Thanks for trying to help out BobbyD!   I might take this to another forum so that more eyes see it.

Is the 261/262 and 269 the same engine? How about a picture of where you have the question Walt. Don't have many friends with these new fangled Tin Plate pieces to look at one.

Waiting to see Walt's World 2016!

What screws do you see?  2 on back of cab vertical surface, are there 2 under cab as shown, one in stack, or maybe on under front pilot at steam chest.  G

I am at the library, my only internet access point, so I will get back with answers.  Thanks for the comments.

I am willing to admit that possibly my memory is wrong, but I will confirm that when I get home.

As always, thanks - walt

My memory is in tact!  Here are pictures that shows that my engine's layout does not match the diagrams and descriptions in the manual for the one that is supposed to be identical to this.   So I'm back to my original question: How can I get to the manual for THIS engine????

As always, thanks - walt

The 1st 2 shows there are no screws on the back:

Here are shots of screws on the sides but it looks to me like the linkage rods might need unscrewed too:

Is there a screw in smoke stack, need pictures of bottom of chassis.  But I believe 2 screws under chassis rear truck that hold back of shell on, and signal screw under front pilot that holds shell and steam chest on.   G

Walt,

The 269e is a freight set number or MTH 11-5509-1 it has a 261e loco with PS3.

He knows that.  Look at his first post.  The instructions do not match the set.  G

Is this it? Look for 1 screw in the smoke stack and two under the rear - pages 37 & 38 of the manual

Here's some snips of only what you need to make it easier to print at the library. There must be a second gearbox screw as step #4 is not shown.

Carl,

Thanks, that sure looks like it.  The manual even talks about PS3 so it must be the MTH built one.  When I get home I'll see if mine has the screw positions shown in the manual.  That is curious about the missing step 4!!!!!

Also Carl, thanks for provided the snippets to make it easier for me to print.

Look at the last 3 shots of the ones that I posted above.  There are 2 screws on the side, and 2 on the other side, that look like they should come into play too.  They aren't the ones shown in the manual as step 3.

BOBBYD:

The manual that Carl posted looks the same as what you showed but I blew yours off when I saw it was for a different engine.  sorry about that

I still am curious why I can't get the manual on-line from MTH.  I can for my Baby Blue Comet tin-plate set.

As always, thanks - walt
