HO / Repair of DC only SP Daylight GS4 4-8-4
July 30, 2010, 03:53:18 PM
Hello Members.....the plastic parts on the drive wheel assembly on my loco have cracked up and no longer hold the L and R side together. Does anyone know if I could get those plastic pieces ?  Also does anyone know if the part shown here: http://estore.bachmanntrains.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=66_68_154&products_id=845  would work to make this repair? My son loves this old SP Daylight with smoke more than any of his many trains and I would appreciate any help. Thanks to anyone that could help us locate these parts or let me know if the above mentioned parts will work.......Jerry

Hello Members....I have an old Bachmann Plus HO Daylight 4446 GS4 4-8-4 Bachmann #11302 w/smoke & headlight. I bought it new about 13-14 years ago, still have box, unmailed warranty card, even the original smoke oil vial.  I got it out to run on a small layout for my son who is now 8 yrs old.
It ran fine and we enjoyed it a lot, however when I decided to remove it from the track to oil it the entire drive assembly separated. The plastic pieces that join the axles were so cracked that they no longer hold the axles together. I don't know what I should do. I have everything that came with it when I bought it, but the receipt I had tucked in the box is now totally blank. I looked in the order parts section at the no longer available drive wheel assembly. Does anyone know if I can obtain the little plastic pieces to fix this, one of them has the gear on it....thanks in advance for your reply......Jerry

I have searched lately (without any success) for parts for an older Bachmann HO Consolidation 2-8-0. I have a few of these and would sure like to get them back in good service condition. (my son loves them) Does anyone know where to point me? I need the drive wheel assembly or just the parts to repair the ones I have...I would be interested in any parts that might be available for them....(Motors, smoke oil reservoirs with smoke unit, etc.) The old Bachmann number on my boxes are 0651 and 0654. I have 1 Santa Fe Item#0651 and 3 Great Northern Item #0654 and have had these Since about 1975-77 and they still look very good but are limping badly. Thanks in advance for any help you may offer.
