I recently purchased online a Baldwin 4-6-0 Southern from Bachmann. Had troubles at first with the front truck, but got that fixed. But now only the two front drives of the middle 6 wheels work - it gets stuck sometimes on my table top layout. Looking at the bottom of the locomotive it looks like both the front 2 and the middle 2 of the 6 center wheels should provide power via gears. Afraid to start tearing things apart. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Yes, I am a novice at this.
Thanks,
Dave
Welcome
If you bought the unit new and have the receipt, Bachmann Warranty support is VERY good. Give them a call.
Either way, this is my favorite LOCO reference. There is really good info on your loco included. Give it a look.
