Problem Poly Gear and Axles on Bachmann Engine

HO enthusiast Greg asks readers:

“I have a Bachmann 2 6 0 consolidation with bad poly gear and axles. I can’t locate any repair parts with out buying the whole drive system. Are there any upgrades or replacement parts from any other companies? Thanks.”

    This is available from Bachmann http://estore.bachmanntrains.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=66_68_211&products_id=5880
    If you have the older version you might have to adapt this with a new gear on the motor as well.

    You may want to search for the Bachmann trains website. I was under the impression that the Bachmann locomotives were guaranteed for ‘life’. Of course, shipping and handling is not included. Once at the website, find the locomotive and wheel arrangement from the left hand links and go from there. Sometimes, it may be easier to CALL the support number and ask who to talk to. Support people are located in the United States of America and should be fairly easy to understand. I have found that once you get to the right person, Bachmann support is pretty good at their job.
