First of all, I would like to say a big THANK YOU to all of you, for your great support advises and welcome messages !!
@French_Fabrice
1) I will buy this spare part from one of the shops you recommend to me. Thank you very much!!
2) I didn’t try the reverse before, but now I am trying to go below “0” the train do not have a small pulse, on the contrary, it goes really fast!
Do you think that the transformer is not having the correct contact with the reverse? Shall I try that manually (open the transformer)?

“Funny that the retaining screw is there but not the shoe”
Do you mean this one ?
I still have it but I remove it on purpose to get more clear photo.
“As for the reverse, you need to turn the speed control back to the '0' position, then give it a little more movement backward, you will feel spring resistance. This sends a higher voltage 'pulse' to the Loco to activate the reverse relay - you need power to the loco while doing this of course.”
I also have one other question. Look the back of the voltage transformer at this picture :
Do you know where the wires should be put in order to have the correct performance ? What difference does it make?
Regarding the backwards movement, I am still trying… I will let you know if I achieve it… thank you also for your helpful advises.
“Do you intended to start building a layout?, the longest journey starts with the first small step you know”
Why not, I find this hobby fascinating and I am seriously thinking about it !

“Question: Have you taken out the screw on the top of the locomotive, the one in the center of the steam 'dome'? If so, then how does it look inside? To get it running at peak performance you'll need to add a drop, only one drop, of hi-grade lubricant, also found at a local hobby shop for model trains, to the little oil recepticles on both sides of the central metal motor housing. (Don't use olive oil...it will gum up the entire works)”
Thank you for this advice! I haven’t opened the train, this how I found it after long years, so I don’t have any clue about inside condition.
Do you know the screw’s
ref number or how I may find out?
*Also your advice for the oil drop is well noticed!
@foumaro
“I think that this version of br89 have to the right side of the loco a hand lever for reversing the loco. Try with this.”
You mean that this "lever" is placed, on the train? Unfortunately, I cannot find anything…
@Ian555
Thank you very much
UPDATE !Can you please inform me if i will need the screw No 27, Ref: E756100 according
to this draw ?
Is it made by some special material or something ? Because it cost around 15 Euro !
