Hello Joe,  I am old too and not laughing. Not totally sure what you mean, but I believe it is called the pilot truck. 

Your locomotive has the old style pilot truck and is not longer available.  The good news is the new style pilot truck is still available. It does not attach the same way.  You would have to drill a hole for a screw to hold it in place.

If you have minimal repair experience you should be able to do this. 

Here is a link to the item you need to buy, just click on it:
