Hi All,
I have a HP GP9 Diesel that appears to have a broken axle (it likely took a fall about 2 ft onto carpet, or at least that's my best guess).
I found the parts diagram at https://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/dwg/dwgs/HO_GP9_DCC.pdf. Is it likely that this is a repair that I can do myself, or would I most likely be better off sending it in for service? I'm handy with electronics, but I don't have much experience in working on trains (gotten as far as removing the shell, but that's about it).
If it's worth trying, any thoughts on what parts I need here? And could anyone post a link or any instructions to get me going in the right direction. I'm getting errors trying to add an image here, so I posted them in Imgur.

Happy to add more pictures and details if that's helpful.
Thanks in advance.
