Anyone have a front photo of*an IHC 0-4-0 southern 27?*

Hi. I need to compare my train with another one like it..the problem is I can't find another one online. I can't tell from the diagram online or even from the photo in the 1993 IHC catalog if my front is damaged or missing anything. Or if it's supposed to have a front coupler? The product number is IHC 8003, It's an 0-4-0 Southern #27 Switcher with tender (HO) Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm very new and not very good with this yet. Thank you.

Not the same Southern 27 as yours, but I found one similar on the auction site and it does have a front coupler. Here's the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/IHC-HO-Scal...675048?hash=item25cf6ad528:g:ZKYAAOSwal5YG38L

Thank you ! It does appear that my train missing a coupler. The parts list in the box said IHC 530-007 Loco front Coupler.. though I searched and that was prob discontinued long ago. I appreciate your help!!!
