Bachmann HO scale 3 truck Shay gears

[billvan]

Hi:
Some months ago I communicated with several folks who had split pinion
gears in their B'mann HO 3 truck Shays. I am now dealing with the possible
manufacturer of replacement gears as Bachmann wont replace these.
Anyone with this problem please contact me directly and I will pass on the information.

Is there any chance of also making a replacement drive shaft to retrofit the Bachmann Climax?  From comments on this & other boards that might be a very saleable item since Bachmann has no replacement parts.

Hi:
Contact me directly and I will put you on my list. I have a friend who is
in need of the Climax drive shaft parts so maybe the manufacturer could
do something about the Climax problem also.

Hi Bill, put me on your list too, for the Climax and the Shay.  I recently purchased
some 'Lab Metal' and RTV mold material from Micro-Mark in hopes I could cast
some 'metal gears'  Wish me luck.

On a separate note, you can purchase Shay 'trucks' directly from Bachmann
for only $15.00 apiece.  It only takes one screw to change them out.  Electric
contacts are build right in.

Do you want address, etc off line ?
