No but the part was on their list as out of stock for a long time now it seems to not be there stall.
Is that Bachmann in the USA?

Just on the off chance. I need this part is it available anywhere, in someone's parts box, a clever person who 3d prints them etc.
I can't upload a picture so I will have to describe it:
It's the female part of the universal joint between the steam engine and rear truck part number OYAO1

I have ordered a pair of replacement trucks. Does anyone have any info or advice for fitting them, their voltage etc.

I think it's old. I have watched the videos and my trucks are different. The two screws between the wheels are as per the video. I have 6 screws in the bottom of the trucks but they are all the same length (short). There are none of the long screws that hold the top plate on. The top plate with the screws between the wheels removed is held in exactly the positions that the long screws would hold it. There are 2 screws on the top of the trucks
In the right place except they are the size of spectical hinge screws and are not accessible due to the body of the engine above.
Any help would be appreciated.
