:The plastic or nylon coupler between the wheel halves cracked and let the wheels go out of sink. I can take it apart and put it back together but I don't know if you could ever find the parts.
Doesn't look good - all of the 4-8-4 driver parts show as "sold out" here. Might have to return the whole thing for a warranty replacement (if that's an option for you).

I am in same boat with an Overland 4 8 4.
Any aftermarket axles offered out there?
Still looking for some help on this.
Did Bachmann just leave us twisting in the wind?
There is a replacement axle and gear set for a Bachmann 4-8-4 available from Shapeways. Don't know if it appropriate for your loco, or anything about it's quality or ease of install.

Bachmann... if this post violates the forum rules, please delete it.
Thanks will give these a try.
Bachmann completely let me down on a new old stock engine. Never used but fell apart in a few hours. Told because of out of production for so long warrantee not valid.
Would not bother me if the less than 20 dollar parts were available!
Update looks like I will have them by Monday.
Will update post when they arrive.
