Hello, I have 4 Mantua MU2 locomotives that need the horn hook coupler fixed, Is there a shop I can send them to for replacement? I tried one time and it did not go too well.

This link might help. One early MU2 draft gear has a spring in it and is hard to fix like this link shows. This method keeps the repair looking original. it has been suggested to ad a drop of super glue to the bottom of the rivet for added strength.
I have also super glued a Kadee draft box and horn hook coupler on the metal MU2 tongue with much success.
