Doug, No, just the rivet broke. The lip on the pop rivet wore out. It probably wasn't maintenance properly and wore down. The linkage is fine. Regards, Bryian Sones Union Pacific Prototype Modeler Murrieta, CA

If it is the rivet, Kemtron, among others, at one time sold HO rivets for attaching linkages together. If the linkage rod broke, you may have to trace the broken part on a piece of brass and file out a new one.

The side rod linkage that is broken attaches to the Eccentric; The locomotive is a Ho scale, Key Imports early Challenger If that helps any? I'll try and post a pick later.

It appears to have been held together by a tiny brass pop rivet. Does anyone have a suggestion on the best way to replace it and reconnect the linkage?
