Shay replacement trucks

[jlg759]

Any idea when the replacement trucks will be back in stock. I tried to order and they are out of stock.

The 3 Truck Shay is no longer in production at Bachmann, and there will be no more replacement trucks.  However, nine times out of ten, the trucks are being replaced due to a problem with the drive shaft and/or gears.  If this is your issue, you may be in luck...they do offer a replacement shaft/gear set in the parts store.  It is pretty simple to replace them by following the directions that come with the set.  You get all three (Front, Middle, Rear) for one price.  I have done this with several of my Shays now and they do run better!

Thanks for this is timely information.  I just had cracked gear failure on my Shay this past Tuesday during my monthly operating session.
