I need some parts for my Bachman James. Now before you start telling me to call customer service, here's my situation.
I need the front buffers. He had a mishap with a friend of mine on the end of a siding and, well, a 3 foot fall to a hard concrete floor.
I can only pay cash. So that means no E-bay, credit cards, paypal, debit, or any of the like. Money order and C.O.D I am lenient.
I did check the spare parts section. Only a face plate.
Is there anywhere that I can get buffers? I have thought about the Hornby replacements, but read the second part.
HELP!!!!
Hate to say it but unless you want to drive to Pennsylvania, then you might as well buy a new James, based on the information and limitations you gave.
Thanks anyway, I'll try eBay and see what I can do. I just hate asking my parents to use their debit card.
Hi there Hoss. I've got some buffers, but I need some for a model project. How many are you in need of?

Only 2 for James. He's my at the top of my repair list. I'll need 2 at a later date for Percy, but he can wait.

I could probably spare you 2. ;)
I am now proud to announce that James is being withdrawn from service for short term. The replacements arrived yesterday, Thanks to James the red engine. Some pictures to commemorate this event.

Before James could leave with his last train, some, "Restoration work" had to be carried out on the station throat before his train could depart.

Along with some minor rerailing from a white, feline tornado that touched down.

And of course, the special.
As a last minute change, it was decided that James would double-head the train with Henry. Due to camera problems, this cannot be captured. (Dead batteries. >:(
On June 16, 2010, James is now finished and ready for service. I am still to pull him from the on-line shop storage area, but that will be done tonight. (in theory) ;D Also, no major damage was caused my the class feline twister that touched down. :)
Could you post some pics of your layout? Now that the James problem is starting to resolve, it would be nice to see more of the layout.
Thanks
I'd hate to tell ya, but this is the extent of my layout. >:( The only thing not in these pictures is a turntable, and my small docks. That's it. The local planning board, (aka Mom and Dad) are not letting me expand.
