Sorry, I asked this already but it  recieved no replys.  I'll ask once more:  As I managed two break to parts on my HO ten wheeler, can they be ordered ? One tender stirrup and one teensie, lowest under cab part which seems to resemble a brake-tension turn-buckle and mounts on the brake cylinder crosswise rod. Also, not sure, but it may also have been attached to the part which simulates the brake shoes (below/around  the gear box cover ). The stirrups look as if they snap in place..Or, am I looking at an entire new tender shell  in order to obtain a new stirrup?

ten wheeler is a 4-6-0..  If you have the parts that broke off, I would cement them back on with plastic cement.  Be careful with it and only apply it to the joints.

Dear Mark,
Contact the service department. If they have the parts they'll let you know.
Have fun!

Thanks..will do...But to RAM above, I tried gluing them but it's of no use as both parts are SO tiny they have too little suface area to join back on, leave alone I believe they are delrin which requires a special Zap glue (forgot full name)..Oddly enough though, IF you have larger delrin things needing gluing , common old white glue works ( like gluing say, Atlas flex track onto cork or plywood ..These ties are delrin as are many truck frames and couplers...But forget teensy things...
