I have a "dummy" Tyco/Mantua F-9A/F-7A Burlington Northern that had a coupler break on the front. It's a real non-powered unit, I've had it since I was a kid - never had power in it (don't see this listed anywhere though). I don't know if the pin holding the coupler to the shell is screwed in or pushed in ... didn't want to break the shell, just wonder if anyone knows a safe way to get that pin out to replace the coupler.
I like caffeine and a chainsaw ...

The pin is a push in and pull out-very similar to a atlas f loco. A small screw driver or needlnose pliers will remove it.
