Title: Heisler Gear Box
Post by: sysoptiger on May 29, 2026, 05:44:58 AM
Hi,

i have an old G Scale Climax from Bachmann with damaged Gear boxes.
It is not possible to drive the shaft for the two-cylinder engine. the gears are slipping.
So i think it would be the best way to replace the whole gearbox.
Do you have the gear boxes as a spare part?
or at least the two gears that drive this shaft?
If not, is there anyone here who has recreated these gears for 3D printing?

Best regards

Peter

Parts used to have them but like all Bachman stuff, they don't make many parts (as the CEO has said they are not in the parts business) so by the time you know what you need, they are out. I have learned to proactively buy some parts just in case.  Some I may never use but have hoarded (per the wife) just in case.
