Does anyone know if Bachmann makes a powered truck? I couldn't find any by searching their product database. I'm rebuilding a homemade wooden 60's era Doodlebug and the powered truck assembly is totaly wore out (all screw holes are stripped out, homemade shims, etc. It's toast!) I picked up this little gem at a train show for $5 and would like to get it going again as it is in otherwise good condition; fully lighted, seated painted figures and interior, etc. A lot of work was put into this unit when it was hand-built way-back-when. When I can get it running again I plan on adding DCC to it and change all the light bulbs to LED's.
Thanks,

Thanks for the url but it turns out that every place I checked for the part number it's sold out! I couldn't find anyplace that had one in stock. Bummer!

Yes, it's out of stock but only temporarily. That usually means it
should be back in supply within several months. Bachmann removes
items from their catalog when they are permanently discontinued.

You might also consider OSO Railworks. They have a new line of power trucks that might fill the bill.
Hmmm, a Bachmann power truck could equal a scratchbuilt 'critter'. I'll have to look for one of these.
