losing a spring

[conradin]

Upon opening my loco, the spring inside the coupler flew out and I cannot recover it.  Where and how can I get a replacement spring...or a replacement coupler altogether?  This is a D8-40C Santa Fe.

Is this N scale ?You can use micro trains conversion coupler #489-133040.I don't know what you would use on H.O

[conradin]

Yeah, I though about it.  But I do not want to do it now because that will mean I will have to convert everything.  Even though I have only abou 20 carts, that's a lot of work for me (I'm sure some of you who have over 300 will laugh).

A yellow copper/brass spring the size of a pinhead lost on a yellow carpet does not help...

If you send me your address I'll send you a couple .you did say it's N scale ?

You can also contact bachmann service by clicking on service at the top of the page.I'm trying what more can I say.

Thanx..I called Bachmann and they will send me a couple.  Lets hope it works out. :-)
