Got a Niagara that can not pull more than 5 Passenger cars up a helix.  Any way to put tires on this loco?

Hi guys,

    Just got a Niagara HO 4-8-4  (#11306) off of Ebay and it has what sounds like a split gear on one of the drive wheels.  It thumps and jumps around on the track. How hard is it to repair this myself.  Cant figure out how to get bottom gear cover off.  Took off two bottom screws but can not pry cover up off of chassis.  Dont want to break it.  Should I send in to Bachmann for repairs?

Received in my new 2-6-6-2 C&O engine a few days ago and I noticed that it waddles a little on the straight away.  I've got it on a test track with straight flex track and it shimmy's from side to side forward and reverse.  It appears to be the front engine section that ain't quite right.   Anyone else have any problems like this and should I be able to expect Bachmann to do an alignment on it?

By the way, this engine is in HO scale with Bachmann part number 82625.

Hi all,

    Anyone know where I can get replacement parts for a Bachmann Doodlebug on the Internet?  I've purchased one on Ebay and it's thumping with a split gear on one of the axles.  Appreciate any advice.
