need manual for the yard boss

[outtda]

my Dad passed away in July and I found The Yard Boss in his attic.......it doesn't have a manual and I need to connect the locomotive to the tender but don't see how.......

I am guessing that the Yard Boss train set came with the 0-6-0? I don't have a manual, but you an find a parts diagram of one version of the 0-6-0 in Bachmanns "Parts, service, and information" pages (link at the top of the page.

I am guessing that there is a drawbar (coupling) on the tender with a hole with two stiff, spring wires to carry track power from the tender to the loco. These would fit over a split peg at the back of the loco... the spring wires go OUTSIDE of each side of the peg ( the split halves of the peg pick up the power from the spring wires). It's easier to fit the wires over the peg if you turn/swing the tender drawbar about 90 degrees to the loco...
