The Bachmann two truck Shay (late model) was locking up .The timing gear for the drive unit had part number G811x-OZFO4 (the small quarter moon looking piece) missing. My fix was to remove the tiny retainer screw and insert a .040 dia by about 1/2'long brass wire through the screw hole. Put a tiny drop of CA glue on the point where the brass wire passes through the inverted question mark piece. Then cut the wire snug with a pair of wire cutters.
I did this for all 6 units. The replacement repair does not show to the viewer when the steam engine is reassembled into the Shay!

My 2 Truck 38 ton Shay has the front universal joint broken. Has anyone found a replacement or manufactured a Universal joint yourself?
I ordered a replacement FRONT Drive Shaft from Bachmann. They sent the rear shaft. Bachmann web pages shows the Rear Drive Shaft is out of stock.
My best guess is that the parts are miss binned  or miss identified.The FRONT and REAR drive shafts are different and not interchangeable.

Box Car "Florence & Cripple Creek" #588 "The Gold Belt Line" G Gauge with metal wheels?

What is the Bachmann number?

What is the Bachmann number for a "MKT 47152" cattle car (G Scale) "The Katy'?

I have been given 17 pounds of bird shot and would like to add about 3 to 4 pounds to my "Annie"
At the moment I have filled a couple of pill bottles with the shot and added them to my engine cavities.
I am worried that over time the plastic pill bottles might leak and get into the driving gearing.
What I would like to use is a low temperature resin ( or other product) that I can mix into the bird shot and
pour into the engine cavities. ( At least the cavities that will not leak out the mix!)
Any thoughts?

 Have an "Annie" 4-6-0 with Walschaerts valve gear that I need to remove in order to modify the chassis

How do i proceed?

Does anyone have information or pictures of the new designed metal drive gears and improved pilot truck for the Bachmann Large scale 4-6-0?

I need to pull the main driving wheels on my 4-6-0 (5th) version
One wheel is wobbly. I do not see any hub caps to remove to access the screws in the end of the axle.
I am hesitant to use brute force to force the wheel off if there is a retaining screw .

On a Bachmann 4-6-0 Ten Wheeler-The pickups need replacement.
They are small plastic pockets with a coiled spring and plunger in each pickup. (4 each) They have gotten hot and melted and fused the spring into the plastic pocket so that they no longer move.

Has anyone replaced them with the all metal pocket, spring, plunger from LGB?
If so how did you install them?

Rod

I have misplaced (read lost) the installation instructions for this unit.
Can someone e-mail me a set please?

Thanks
Rod
