I have a Tyco HO Santa Fa F9-A diesel and the rear coupler is plastic and is broken. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement coupler?

Welcome,
I have used couplers from my less used rolling stock to replace missing couplers on locos I won online. I went to a train show with the idea of buying inexpensive rolling stock to salvage good couplers.
Also have drilled the brass rivet on older Tyco Alcos ,GP-20s and Fs to remove the metal coupler box. Then I use Kadee draftgear box installing a spare Athearn coupler then epoxy that unit on the tongue of the truck. It seems to work.
