4-6-0 Loco Brake Shoes attachment

I discovered brake shoes (part 88005-0ZS02/1) detached from my Large Scale 4-6-0 Steam Locomotive. While searching for some guidance on how to reattach them, I found the parts on schematic G916X-IS002, but still can't figure out if they are broken or somehow just became detached, and following that, where and how to reconnect them.  I wonder if there is a more complete exploded diagram that details how to reassemble all the (many and small) component parts of the Loco. Thanks for any guidance.

Hi DWP,

They rarely break.  You should see a round tab on the shoe, it press fits into the hole on the loco.  There are right and left side shoes  so be sure to get them in the correct position.  It was not clear from you post if all  have detached, so if even one remains on the loco look closely at it and you should see how it fits in!

Cheers & Beers.
