I ordered an anniversary chassis for my son's Big Hauler last November and it arrived and was soon installed. Then I noticed that the engineer's side main rod was actually the fireman's side! I sent a note to Bachmann's service group along with my invoice number. A couple of days later, a complete set of valve gear showed up at my mailbox.
Thank you, Bachmann trains, for the fast and prompt service!

Wow Mark,
You are lucky!!!
I purchased no less then 3 Annie. chassis and many other parts over the years. All good experiences, except the shipping charges :(
Then, one day I emailed them and asked to purchase just one running board, for a 4-6-0, the one under the air pump on the Fireman's side of the boiler, any color.
They emailed me back and said the only way I could get it was to buy a complete shell for $49.99. :o
One would think their service department would have at least a few gutted, broken boiler shells laying around.
Well now that I got that off my chest, I'm glad to hear you had positive experience Mark.
Good job Bachmann!!
