I have a G gauge locomotive I would like to repair it. Is there a track I can buy so I can test it? I am a novice at this so I am not sure what it is called but I have seen it in a repair shop when I had it fixed. I don't want to have to send it to Bachmann Industries. PA
Kraig - I would suggest that a simple straight section of track, manufacturer is irrelevant would support the repair of your locomotive. The addition of a set of rollers (available here in the Bachmann store) would be a nice, but not necessary, addition. For testing, a standard starter set power pack should suffice, but a higher caliber pack would also be a plus. For reference I use two three foot sections of AristoCraft brass track, an AristoCraft power pack from a Sesame Street starter set, and I did invest in a set or Bachmann Rollers. Hope this will get you on your way.

Support rollers added on top of track.

Thanks for the help. It would be nice to get the train running again. I have it on a suspended track from the ceiling so I don't have to wait for the weather to clear. Kraig
