Title: HO Climax Steam Engine
Post by: chinnock on December 22, 2008, 04:49:13 PM
When are you(Bachman) going to make more HO Climax Steam Engines? They must really be rare since I've never seen one on E-Bay   Ron Chinnock   [email protected]

A new run would be nice - especially if the drive shaft problem is corrected!!

I would love to get another, BUT Bachmann would have to......
1. Fix the drive shaft problem(mine broke after almost exatly 1 year).
2.Make it pull more(mine could only pull 1 or 2 cars on leval track).

You might email NWSL about the gears. On another forum, the new owner of NWSL said someone sent him a Spectrum HO Shay to see if NWSL could make replacement gears. Maybe if enough people bug NWSL, they may consider the issue. Do not know how the Shay differs from the Climax. In different MRR forums I see the Shay and Climax issues quite a lot. Also, with the On30 items.
