Good day,
I recently purchased some On30 equipment from a guy who was changing scales. I was able to get four 2-6-0's, 3 porters, 7 passenger coaches, and one boxcar; all Colorado & Southern.
Have a few small problems with the Moguls, mainly cow catcher issues, ones messed up, ones' missing, but nothing major.
However, one of the Porters has a problem that I'm stumped on. The front piece, not even sure what you call it, but the front area where the coupler is screwed in...it's pushed downward, and that is prohibiting the drive rods from moving. I've tried to nudge it back, but it almost looks like it's molded that way...
Anyone else had this problem??

Yes, I had that with an 0-4-2 Porter. Couldn't see how to fix it. Took it back to the dealer and got another one.

This part has a slot that snaps on over a tab. My 0-4-2 came as you described. I very firmly persuaded it into place and it is fine now. It took a couple of look overs for me to see the problem. It is a very very tight snap fit.
