Title: I Need Some Help
Post by: thomasj219 on August 31, 2011, 08:03:33 PM
My HORNBY Oliver does not work anymore and as BACHMANN does not offer an Oliver model I need to buy a new one. The trouble is HORNBY has discontinued him and I cant find a model anywhere. So does anyone know where I can find one if so please provide a link or has a NEW Oliver that they would like to sell or just has a suggestion for me please reply ASAP.

Thank You,
John (thomasj219)

What problem does Oliver have? Have you tried to repair him?

Here is a link :

      I would order it over the phone. And you must contact them for overseas postage anyways.


                                    Good Luck

Rather than a fully new model, have you tried a new chasis?
Alternatively, do you know what is wrong with the current one? Is a bearing dry and need oiling? cog broken? Pickups dirty?

  I think he would have asked about how to fix it if it was viewed possible. And plus, buying a whole new chasis for a specific Oliver model would be extremly hard to find, and would be expensive anyways. I think that he just needs a new model.
