Title: HO Climax
Post by: Pacific Northern on September 13, 2008, 03:12:58 PM
Get a load of this, off of e-bay item sold for $227.50 plus S&H.

Why is Bachmann not producing any more of these? The demand sure is there.

The two truck has been going for at least $200 on ebay for some months.
Bachmann stuff is made in China. Bachmann has its reasons. Most of us would have no idea on how to run a company anyways.

A nice engine BUT with drive shaft problems (breaking).  Others have stated on this forum that Bachmann does not have replacement parts & is replacing the defective Climax with a Shay (under waranty).  Hopefully there will be a new run with the defect corrected.

My point exactly.
