Williams by Bachmann / What set (if any) are these ca...
Last post by HannahsDad - May 29, 2026, 10:31:14 AM
I purchased some Williams passenger cars yesterday during the Stout auction.  I have the streamline yellow UP, but these appeared to be the madison style.  They only have number on the side, no car names.

The car numbers are:
- 2362 Baggage
- 2365 Observation
- 2363 Combine
- 2366 Coach
- 2365 Coach

If anybody has any information that could help me acquire a few more of these (I usually run 9-11 cars on my passenger trains), I would greatly appreciate it.  I bought these on a whim, thinking that they would be pretty easy to locate additional cars, but my searches since yesterday have not yielded much fruit.

Thanks,
Scott

Hey everyone! Seeing that I never posted in this new thread, I thought it would be beneficial to form an updated list of what I hope to see for the future. Of course, as a model era fan, I would would be down with anything from that era of the show. However, knowing that Bachmann tends to prefer the designs from the computer animated era of the show, all these suggestions (apart from a couple rolling stock paint schemes) appear in CGI.

HO Engines
Whiff
Hiro
Harvey
Diesel 10

HO Rolling Stock
Troublesome Truck #8
Toffee Tanker
Chocolate Syrup Tanker
Green China Clay Wagon
Works Unit Coach (New Tooling, but can be released in Green, Orange, and Indigo, as seen in CGI)

Large / Climax Gear Box
Last post by sysoptiger - May 29, 2026, 05:44:58 AM
Hi,

i have an old G Scale Climax from Bachmann with damaged Gear boxes.
It is not possible to drive the shaft for the two-cylinder engine. the gears are slipping.
So i think it would be the best way to replace the whole gearbox.
Do you have the gear boxes as a spare part?
or at least the two gears that drive this shaft?
If not, is there anyone here who has recreated these gears for 3D printing?

Best regards

Peter

Thanks, I see your post count (11), but should have looked at mine to see something fishy.

But yes seems to be a spam bot, looked at all 3 posts by that "person"... weird

Thank you for keeping our great forum great.

I suspect you are an AI... how do you have a post, but your post count is zero (look on the post)
We have post counts disabled for all users across the forum. However, I did check that user's profile and suspect it's a spam bot. I've banned them now.
