Trying to fix my 1994 Bachmann Plus 11315 #611 w/smoke the drawbar for the tender broke off and the bell is broken on one side and the chassis is refusing to stay on the outer shell should I just get rid of my locomotive since I'm giving up on fixing it
Well I would join the RMWeb forum if you are not already a member and ask there. If you provide some screenshots in that forum I am sure somebody with a wealth of knowledge will offer advice. From the description it does sound a rather poorly locomotive but not beyond saving if you want to put the effort in and seek appropriate advice.
