Unfortunately Bachmann does not have the part you need.   NWSL.com is back in business and perhaps you can see if they can help.

Loco Bill

Jim and Bill,

I had the same problem with this one donated to our train club.

Bachmann Columbia type

This loco was LNIB, but the same gear was split (very common problem with older Bachmann locos).

Can you 3 D print?
I printed a gear using PETG filament that worked for a while ( until a different gear split).
I can send you the STL file if you are interested.

Turn the loco upside down and examine the very thin wires that come from the front truck and disappear into the curved slot where the truck mounts. It is very common for these wires to get mangled and create a short preventing the loco from running.

Check to see if the pilot truck is in the proper direction. Sometimes they get turned around and create a short. There should be a whit arrow on the bottom and it should point forward.

You can order a new Chassis for $40 or an Annie Chassis for $45 with metal drivers (looks better in my opinion).

All track powered 10 wheelers have metal drivers. I think you are referring to the valve gear and side rods.

Make certain your front truck has not been turned 180ยบ.  That will cause a short and prevent it from running. There should be a white arrow on the bottom of it that should point forward.

The link is OK. You now copy the image location to each individual photo and use it's individual url location to insert the photo ( as I did for you) using the insert picture button above the message box (Add BBC tags, bottom row, second from the left). It will show as "[ img] *[ /img ]" in your message and you paste the image location between the img brackets (where I have inserted *)

So, here is a link, and I hope I did it right.

It's the first three pictures. It's the white plastic consolidator that you attach the back wheels to it.

Bob, thanks for your reply. I'm trying to attach some pics. And it's not letting me.  I'm trying to resize the pictures


Your picture file has to be on line on a server and you post the link to it.

Reminds me, I have to take a look at the anniversary motor block we bought a few years ago.  It runs OK with a 10 pin analog piece in place on the non-plug and play board, but when I install the REVO board, it causes problems. Fried at least two. Better check for dead shorts again.

Check out this article. It may help you with your problem...http://ovgrs.org/the-trains/sound/bachmann-4-6-0-annie/

If you mentioned what loco and tender you have, someone might be able to help you.

The replacement metal trucks can be used on ALL models.
