Dear Bachmann,

I currently have (3) Bachmann Peter Witt Trolleys, one of which has
stopped working. Before I go any further, Please note: I have removed
the onboard DCC Decoder and installed the dummy plug in all three cars.
All now run on DC. My Brooklyn car, after break-in started making a strange
grinding noise and began to slow down then speed up intermittently. Finally ,the car stopped moving, with only it's headlight and car lights working. I proceeded to take the bottom motor cover off so I could
check the voltage going to the motor while power was supplied to the car.
With 5 volts applied to the car, the lights come on and using my DVOM, I
monitored 5 volts across the motor leads, but the motor would not move.
While I applied power, I gently moved the motor shaft and the motor started to turn, but very slowly, intermittently stopping. I applied a little
more power, but the motor moved at the same speed. After a few minutes,
with no load, the motor began to get warm, then stopped again. I beleive
the motor is defective. Now, do I reinstall the decoder, pack up the car and
send the whole car back to Bachmann, or just order a new motor??

Mr. Bachmann,

What is the Bachmann Replacement Part Number for the
DCC Decoder used in the Peter Witt Trolley? What is the replacement
cost?

Just purchased a Bachmann Brill Trolley at the Timonium, MD Train Show
to find that it has a newer can motor powered underframe. It runs very
well, and quiet. Is this can motored truck also available is the newest release of Bachmann's PCC Trolley??
