Well to start with  I didn't ask for warranty ..... These are cheap loco's I know .but when 2 bucks worth of parts will fix them I ain't throwin them away .. Bachmann has sold a Million of these so somebody outta know Something ...And last but not least I didn't  put the D... Traction tires on em !!!!! Bachmann did   Sloan

Bachmann said "If the loco's are over 5 yrs old ,Finding the Traction Tires are my problem "   They said a part # might help  anywhere on the net to find a parts breakdown on the locos ?
