Hi,

Those links to Northwest Shortlines are dead. Guess I will need to contact them.

My thoughts are,

1, Find a damaged car to steal the wheels off of.

2, Scrap this coach and just find another Amfleet to replace it.

3, Find wheels from 3rd party source.

Bachmann not supporting their stuff is pretty annoying! I hope they read these boards once in a while.

Hi,

I've got a set of second hand Bachmann Amfleet Coaches. One of the coaches has an issue though.

The axle going through the wheels is too short and the wheels fall off. Looks like someone tried to fit a NG axle to a Amfleet coach for some reason.

I've got some pictures attached of both sides of the Amfleet coach to show I'm not crazy. The previous owner claims this coach has been like that since new. Considering the cars say Bachmann China, it wouldn't surprise me in the least.

How do  I get a replacement set of wheels for my coach?
