Thanks for the reply. I think im going to order a new chassis.  Im having trouble my train is the rocky mountain express # 90034 . I cant find that chassis # . Will anyother chassis # work. They have a #90035. Any help would be great thanks.

jhill,

It sounds like you need the plastic push pins that hold the siderods to the wheel's rod post.  Little gray affairs that simply push into the post on the wheel. 

If that is correct, it happens all of the time, I have a few hundred of them and can send some to you.

Well there you go Barry has what you need!!   If you are determined to get a new chassis $30 is a darn good price.  The only difference between the 90035 and 90034 is that the 90035 has all black steam chests instead of the blue and black on your 90034.  It will fit perfectly!

Good luck which ever way you go!
