I recently opened a box of locos from my childhood and found a Bachmann 4-8-4 Northern, Burlington Route w/ smoke. This has been in abox for about 15-18 years and I suspect that the engine was purchased about 22-25 years ago. In the box I found a little note that I left myself that read "Rear axle broken...again. Look in white parts box" I found another wheel set with a broken plastic rear axle. It appears that the replacement 'part' was the entire set of drivers. Does anyone know if the new drivers will fit this old model? I had great memories of this loco and woud like to salvage it if possible, but also wondering if the cost/time is worth it? Thoughts or ideas??
The next step is to dig deeper in the myriad of boxes to look for the tiny wrenches....
