I have a new, run only once rail truck purchased from Train World 04/19/2016. Pulled truck out of storage and it ran about 3 feet and failed. Disassembled and discovered that the bevel gear on the driveshaft where it enters the gearbox had split. I thought no problem. I will call Bachmann on Monday and order a replacement part. Talked to some very nice and helpful people in service and parts and discovered that the rail truck is discontinued and the part I need is sold out. The aforementioned nice people offered to exchange my inoperative truck. For $110 I could get one of several Bachmann products. The gesture was appreciated. I was tempted to go with the 4-6-0. I have another rail truck and I would hate to give up a potential source of parts for my running truck. Fortunately there are two of the gears that I broke on the rail truck.
Anyone have a junk or inoperative rail truck that they would like to sell?
Thanks,
Dennis Buckley
