I have just purchased a pair of Bachmann F7A Locos. I have been unable to find a listing or any parts information for these units on this site. These have a different frame and motor than the FT units I have.
These were in the new Bachmann blue boxes, so I assume they are recent production products.
What is the history of these units and why is there no information available for parts.
I find bachmann technical information interesting, because when a product goes out of production, it appears that bachmann never ever had the product.
I have two Santa Fe 4-8-4 northerns that I have detailed and custom painted. Keeping these older units running has been a challenge. No parts are listed for the older production engines, and I am unwilling to part with the custom details, paint, and coupler modification. Therefore sending them back for replacement is not an option. I buy used engines and parts to keep the old locos on the road.
An old parts list archive on this web site would be of great help in identifying old parts from outdated products. This technical information would help owners to buy and sell parts to keep our valued engines on the road.
