I have one of the 2-truck Climax locomotives. I hadn't run it a about four years until the other day. It appears that the side rods operate but the gearing to the trucks isn't working. I know from reading the forum that those locomotives had a design problem.
My question is this, is Bachmann now repairing the old 2-truck Climax locos now that they have a 3-truck available if I return it? I really like the small compact size of the 2-truck and it goes well with my mining layout.
Dear Speed,
Service will probably be able to help. Give them a call on Monday.
Have fun!
the Bach-man
