All,
I just sent the email below to the Bachmann Parts department. However, I've been told that email is not the best method to communicate with Bachmann so I thought I ask if any of you know how to acquire replacement gears for the Large Scale handcar.
Those listed in the parts catalog do not appear to be the gears on the axles, and I have two broken gears. One on the front axle driving the animation (the car handles) and one on the rear that meshes with the worm gear. Power is only coming to the front axle and he barely drives the car.
Any help is appreciated.
Best,
TJ
==========================
Parts,
Have a recent Bachmann G Large Scale hand car with trailer.
Two gears have broken on the hand car.
One gear is on the front axle that drives the animation (the hand car handles going up and down). It is cracked and the handles no longer move.
One gear is on the rear axle and supplies power from the worm gear on the drive motor.
I see on the parts page there are three items related to the hand car.
Gears [Handcar & Trailer] - (Large Scale) #G96210 $10 - shows the two large main gears, neither of which are what I want. I do not see in the catalog picture any of the axle mounted gears, which are what I need.
Wheels w/axle [Handcar & Trailer] - (Large Scale) #G96223 - in the catalog picture only the axle is shown, not the gears that slide onto the axle.
Gearbox w/Motor [Handcar & Trailer] - (Large Scale) #G96211 - again, in the catalog picture no axle gears are shown.
Are the gears I need included with any of the three products listed above? If so which? If not, how can I get a complete set of replacement gears for the handcar short of purchasing an entirely new handcar?
Please advise.
Best regards,
TJ Lee
