Gidday there Bach man,
                           Still hav'nt heard from the service dept regarding a replacement rear drive shaft for my Climax.

                   Cheers

Stick with the Batteries, the lights don't go out when you stop at the Station

 :)Thankyou Bach Man,
                      You are indeed a Scholar and a Gentleman.

This is probably for the Bach Man.
                                                  The rear universal immediate to the Transverse Gearbox has broken so I have E'mailed the service Dept but can't seem to get a reply. If it had of been any of the other Uni's I probably could have lived with that but this is the one that has the magnets glued to it that triggers off my Sierra Sound.  Could you please ask the service Dept if the part is available as I would love to get the sound going again.
          Many Thanks

Thanks for the info Brian an Paul.  Have to keep the weight down on the Trailer so Xmas Trees might just be the answer.

                         Cheers

Does anyone know where I can buy Imitation Trees for a Portable Railway. When I say portable, its 40ft long and 10ft wide. It is mounted on a trailer that folds up to 20ft by 8ft.

Thanks for the reply Jon. Thought for a moment that I had got myself a Lemon but I'm pleased that its ok.

I brought a new Two Truck Shay a couple of months ago and noticed that the rear truck does not drive the Drive Shaft. Is that normal for this model?

I also have a Coal Creek Loco which I kitbashed into a 2-4-4T and it runs ok. The track needs to be clean as the wheelbase is a bit short . I have had mine for 6 years and so far hav'nt had a problem with the gears or Motor. If I knew how to, I would put a photo in but thats something I will have to figure out one day.

Gidday all,
            Have finally recieved a new Gear and axle for the Connie. As I don't have an exploded view of the workings can anyone run me through the proceedure to replace the Axle and Wheel.
        Also, many thanks to the " Bach-man" for giving me the suppliers name here in New Zealand. New part only cost $19.50 so I am really pleased with the outcome.

             Cheers

Sounds like a Tall order for a Porter.You might need a Gynacologist to help you with that one.

Many Thanks for the Info Bach-man. I will contact the NZ agent and see if he can supply the part for me.

Hi there Bachmann,
                     Have tried sending several E'mails to the service dept for a replacement Final Drive for my 2-8-0 Connie,which is new, but they both were sent back as " undeliverable". Can you help me with this problem as I would really like to see my NZ$600 Loco going.
               Many Thanks
