Bachmann Plus drive possible fix

[rich1998]

I found this at another forum. I do not believe I ever saw this here.
These parts would replace the splitting axles and gear in all the HO Plus series 4-8-4s.
Check it out at Shapeways site. Looks like four parts and one part has the gear. Looks like $3.50.
One fellow is using the set. 3D printed.

Just post a link instead of sending everyone on a treasure hunt. Bachmann won't mind if it is an aftermarket product that is used to enhance a Bachmann product.

Ok, I was not sure. Shapeways does do stuff for Bachmann locos. I thought some knew that. My bad. It might fit the older 2-8-0. Found the link at trains.con forum. Hope this helps. One fellow has some plus locos with cracked axles. No idea how tight the fit is.
A few years ago I posted about stacks for the old 4-4-0's.
