So, to take this to a conclusion, can I buy a replacement chassis of the version 5 that will fit my loco?  Looking at the Bachmann parts catalog, the 90011 and 90012 don't show up as a replacement, but would one of the others fit?  Even if the colors were wrong, I can handle that.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Cab number 49 (like in the song).

Must be chassis version 2 since the bottom is smooth and I can turn the wheels by hand.  Drive gears are plastic and rather noisy.

Have run the loco and tender with a baggage car, combine and two passenger cars.  Would like to get maybe two more passenger cars for a nice look.  Our Pacific NW garden railway group has a modular 50' by 50' layout we take to local shows and just had it in Portland, OR, last weekend and the train looked good.

By the way - I was looking at your new indoor layout and can only say wow!

As a newbie, I bought a standard (not anniversary) 4-6-0 in AT&SF livery on ebay.  I converted it to battery and radio control and it runs well.  Been looking on the forum and the parts catalog and notice that I need to identify the model number for any major parts purchases.  How do I find out what I've got, age, etc.  I have no documentation of any sort.
