I recently purchased a used Spectrum Large Scale C&S #8305 box car and trucks. Unfortunately the metal truck screws and springs are missing. Does Bachmann sell replacements or can anyone suggest another source? Thanks in advance for the help!
Hi Bob, Click on the Parts, Service and Info in the maroon line at the top of the page, you can check on parts. If you don't see what you need give them a call and they will do their best to help.
Yeah, I tried that: unfortunately the Parts' Large Scale website seems to only have, well, large parts. The smallest I found were couplers.
But in browsing, I spotted a F&CC box car. Hmm. I also have a F&GG car – different paint scheme but flipping it over, I discovered it was a Spectrum! Out came my screw driver and off I went to True Value!
The truck screw is a 10 mm M3. Indeed, looking at the two cars as I put them back together, it appears there are lots of M3s!
Great solution!!
