I just recently acquired a "like new" Bachman HO Doodlebug.  It was still in the factory plastic wrap and was acquired from a deceased collectors display case.  It seems to run great except it has a very loud clacking noise which sounds like there must be a bad spot on the drive shaft from the motor to the front truck.  ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO CHECK THIS NOISE OUT?  I understand it was very common on these early Doodlebugs.  I could not find a video on YOU TUBE where this issue was addressed.  It sure would make it easier if such a video does exist.  ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE APPRECIATED.....Frank UPIT

Good morning. Can someone give me some information on when Bachman started selling the DOODLEBUG with DCC?  Was it a good seller?  Any idea if the Doodlebug will be manufactured again?  I sure would like to get one with FACTORY INSTALLED DCC (if they were reliable).

Is there an item number or product number that identifies the DCC version of the DOODLEBUG so I can look for one?

THANK YOU......Frank in Houston Texas
