Unfortunately, one of my old trains - a model 3003 - has been damaged. The coupler on the tender appears to have broken off. Here are some pictures of the damage: I've had no luck in finding information on how to fix this. I've been able to determine that I'll need a replacement spring that I believe is included in Marklin part 765500, but I still can't determine how the coupler attaches to the tender. It seems like a part is missing but I can't locate any diagrams showing what the part is or how it attaches. Does anyone know how I can go about repairing this problem? I've tried the search function for "spring coupler repair" but came up empty. Thanks in advance,

		German trains era I-II and selected III, era depends on the mood, mostly Maerklin but i can be heretic if needed XD, heresy is no longer an issue.. LOL
