I have a new, run only once rail truck purchased from Train World 04/19/2016.  Pulled truck out of storage and it ran about 3 feet and failed.  Disassembled and discovered that the bevel gear on the driveshaft where it enters the gearbox had split.   I thought no problem.  I will call Bachmann on Monday and order a replacement part.  Talked to some very nice and helpful people in service and parts and discovered that the rail truck is discontinued and the part I need is sold out.  The aforementioned nice people offered to exchange my inoperative truck.  For $110 I could get one of several Bachmann products.  The gesture was appreciated.  I was tempted to go with the 4-6-0.  I have another rail truck and I would hate to give up a potential source of parts for my running truck.  Fortunately there are two of the gears that I broke on the rail truck. 
   
    Anyone have a junk or inoperative rail truck that they would like to sell?

Thanks,

I am thinking about getting one of the three truck shays.  There are none available with the factory installed sound.  I see that there is a SDCC Sound Board - AE32008 (DCC Sound) available for the three truck shay in the spare parts section.  Can this be installed in a Product Code: 82499 shay?  If so is it a plug and play proposition?
Thanks,

Have a couple Bachmann headlights with LEDs that I want to use on a project.  What is the voltage range?  Also is there any consideration given to re-releasing the two truck Shay?  
Thanks,

Are there replacements available?  I have a new box car with two broken steps.

Any plans to release again?
