Burlington Northern Locomotive #6318
Joe asks for parts stockists details:
“Help! I purchased several HO cars & locomotives 30 years ago for my son. Now my grandson wants to play with the old set. I’m trying to find (2) 6 wheel trucks for a Burlington Northern #6318 locomotive. I can’t find anything in the internet pertaining to this locomotive. Can anyone help? Thanks.”
If you are able to point Joe in the direction of a supplier that would be great. As this is not a Buy/Sell or Swap forum, the Blog rules do not permit the exchange of personal contact details.

You may want to check ebay for a similar engine that will run with the set you have, a 30 old set like that would be hard to find or replace. Check Trainworld for a newer inexpensive set …. hope this helps …
Are you sure that the 6 wheel trucks on your locomotive are bad? Chances are that locomotive (having not been run for so long) may have several issues. The motor is dirty. Remove the engine’s shell, and place the engine on the track. Turn on the track power and manually spin the motor shaft. This may help to get the motor running again, it may take lots of tries. Once the motor starts, let it run by holding the in place while the wheels are spinning. If you can’t spin the motor drive shaft, then you will need to free up the gears with some light oil. Oil the motor shaft where it exits the motor, and worm gears at the top of each truck, and twist the drive shaft in each direction till it’s freed up. You will also have to clean all of the wheels. Use Isopropyl alcohol and Q-tips to do that. If all else fails do what Donnis Davis requested.
