ordering parts for B&O #51511 ...

[John Murphy]

I have a 51511 2-6-2 B&O Prairie loco/tender, and have lost the parts list.  I need 2 sets of Pilot trucks and 3 sets of trailing trucks.  I'd also like to order the appropriate springs and screws to attach the trucks to the loco.

 I know this diminutive loco has had its problems, but I like it.  If somebody could tell me how to order these parts, I'd be most appreciative.

 Thanks in advince.

John,
Your best bet might be to call to call the Bachmann service department - switchboard 215-522-1600.  The toll free number is 800-356-3910 but - as stated on this forum - is rarely answered.  Hopefully they will have the parts you need from returned items.  Good luck!

Dear John,
I'd call (215)533-1600 and ask for the service department.
They'll be glad to help.
Have fun!
the Bach-man

"2 sets of pilot trucks and 3 sets of trailing trucks"?  You must be anticipating lots of broken or lost parts.  For the price you would pay for all those parts, you could almost just buy another Prairie for parts scavenging.
