Hi I just bought a bachmann street trolly it has the old style motor assy.I purchased it new from local hobby shop going out of business no refunds or returns. I opened the box myself it was still in the tissue paper .I took it out put it on the test oval of track it would not run. I then loosened the screws slightly on the motor box it started to run jerking and stopping. I then opened the motor box to find a cracked brush mount and repaired it cleaning all oil from it and then using super glue.
I put it back together and got it to run without stopping but jerking as it went . I then tried it today it runs slowly makes and makes some grinding noise .I have another trolly same make and model. With a new style motor box no spring contacts on bottom. Old style has two spring loaded legs. Has anyone modified an older unt to run better? IF YOU HAVE PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH INFO
Go to the largescaleonline board and look at model making/kitbashing threads. Or post your email address here!!
Dear Hot,
Assuming that yours is a large scale trolly,
"Large Scale Central" is another good site. (Plug...Plug)
If you do choose to post your email address here, spell out "at" and "dot" instead of using the symbols. (This is to prevent spammers from picking up your addy off this site.)
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Joe Satnik

The address says "hidden." Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
(I keep seeing this heading and cannot resist any longer:)
Ask the conductor to throw the noisy jerks off! 8^) gj
