Hey guys I am new here. I just purchased a Eastern Tennessee & Western set for $50 and it came with a Tech II controller, curved track, loco, tender, observation , coach, and 2 combine. I bought this knowing the gears were messed up. After reading on here it is a Version 2 (can move while not running). I would like to get this up and running for my 4 year old for his birthday or Christmas.

I would like to buy a new entire chassis but not sure which one to purchase that will fit my model. I would like one of the ones with metal rods.

Can anyone help? Sorry if this question has been answered before.
