Dear Folks:
Bachmann finally returned the loco's I returned for repair.
They did a great job and sent them back in nice safe packaging.
Everything runs and operates great. The smoke from the GS-4 "puffs" up
in intervals and it wows everyone that sees it.
PROBLEM:
My son noticed that the hexigonal nut that holds the rod to the REAR FLANGED WHEEL on the port side(Left) side comes loose. I tightened it and after a few laps
around the layout starts to come loose again. Any suggestions on what to do and
why is it unscrewing. It's the hexigonal nut for the axle of the rear Helical Gear.
This is a great engine!! and really impressive looking on the layout with its red
and orange colors.
Thank you in advance.
Thanks everyone
Your local hardware store should be able to supply you with a tube of "loctite". It is a liquid used to secure screws in place. All you need is a drop on the threads of the screw in question.
Thanks will do and will report back
Until I can get to the Hardware store I used some melted wax on the screw
then screwed it back in. Last night my son ran the loco for about a half hour and
it was still holding!!!!!
