I don't think so but make sure you have the slip drive shaft. Others will probably jump in.

Is the above linked item what Bachmann originally shipped in the accessory bag of the C19, K27, 2-6-6-2, 3 truck Shay, etc., for those 1.20 engines to pull their Big Hauler cars?

Quote from: Greg Elmassian on April 08, 2023, 11:49:57 AMyou mean 350 pixels across or 350k bytes?

I don't remember it just said something about the 350 limit and I even tried the smallest resolution.  It said contact administrator but they have never been responsive so I post on another site.

Does anyone know the history of these?  I recently acquired 2 of these (see pics) on eBay.  Both have the same number but one is more reddish and with a black roof the wording is a also more extensive on it. The other has the body and roof the same color. I'm guessing just different release dates?

That's why I said just buy it and be done. I didn't go into the full details like no one sells parts except Bachmann and they only have certain parts that they do with the original release and not a lot from what I gather. When they are gone, they are gone never to be back. Except some profitable, read high dollar, parts they can sell because they sold enough problem units that people are still trying to deal with, like you now. That explains why they still sell the trucks. In fact they got more in sometime last year.  So some of us buy non running units on eBay to strip for parts, but that's even getting expensive.  A couple years ago you could find these 38 ton Shays for couple hundred bucks.  Not now.    It's like working on a 50's or 60's vehicle. You have to chase parts as they ain't making fenders for a '55 Willys Wagon anymore. You gotta search for it and get what you get. That example is a real one I'm going thru right now. And these Shays came out in the later 90's so in todays world that's a model T.

Greg, all the ones you mentioned above fit the Bachmann PNP socket?

I have several Phoenix systems and have been pleased.  They have one for the Bachmann PNP but I have not bought one yet. Planning on it for my C19 and Climax, but it is DCC and sound.

Depends on which version of trucks you have.  The original ones were plastic and failed.  They came up with replacement die cast replacement one which are $225.   Try googling bachmann shay replacement trucks g scale.
