Title: Hello Mr. Bachmann
Post by: Chesticus on July 19, 2011, 02:51:38 PM
I have 2 spectrum 2-8-0 consolidations that need repair beyond my skills. Do I box them up with a check for the $25 each for repair? These are some of the best running in my fleet and I would like to get them back into service.

I'm not Mr. Bachmann but the way I sent my engine in was I wrapped it up and put $20 in with a note of the problem.

Before sending anything in, it is best to contact Bachmann by phone, and I think it would be better if you sent a money order, but ask them to make sure they accept checks.

Yeah it has been a while since i have had to send anything in. In fact i have only had to send one engine off for repair. Back then it was only $15. But $25 is fine. I will call them in the morning. Thanks for the reply people. I miss these forums.

Keep em on the rails...

Dear Jim,
Yes. It's always a good idea to call first. Then we can be on the lookout for your package.
Have fun!
