greetings folks! long time lurker, first time poster
So, to get to the point, I have in my hot little hands what appears to be a Bachmann N scale 0-6-0 locomotive. it came to me in a pile of free2me N scale stuff. the engine is missing its coal tender which appears to be critical to actually pulling a length of cars behind it.
research is kinda telling me that models past the early eighties required the tender to make the electrical connections to the track. this loco operates just fine with out it.
however, I would like to restore it as best as possible. the Bachman parts page for this loco tells me that the shell for the tender is available, but the truck is back ordered. but I think the back ordered truck is "active", and I don't think I need any thing that fancy.
what do I need to order, in order to make a functional coal tender for this loco so it can pull cars? or, might someone have a stock tender from years gone by that they are willing to part with?
thank you everyone for your help in advance.
