Large / Help finding/fixing a part on G scale Climax

Hello all

Excuse my ignorance but...I have a G scale 25 ton Narrow Gauge Class "B" Climax locomotive which it says is a Item # 81181.
and.....Pardee and Curtin style.

Bought it probably 10-15 years ago from a really cool train store in Western new York which is now gone.

I am ashamed to admit I never lubricated it from when the dealer did at purchase as I only get it out at Xmas time.  This year I decided to service the engine and took off the truck covers (plastic) per instructions.  The screws were very tight but I got them out but the back cover, because the screws were tight was cracked and about the width of the screw hole fell off on the front edge.  Called Bachman parts and they were not much help at all even knowing what I was asking for.

Is there a source that might still have the cover?  and.......next best a way to reglue or weld the cover back together.


Thanks,

Tom
