Bauchman Trolly Problem

[Anonymous]

I have a Bauchman Trolly that is making alot of noice in the gear box. It appears that a plastic shaft that runs through one of the gears is worn. Are parts available for these? Is there a good place that it can be sent? What is the best option and what is the general feeling about about Bauchman trains?

I done a quick internet searh for Bachman spares but didn't come up with anything conclusive.I assume you are in the USA (no profile area ).I'm sure someone will come up with a solution.

There are no parts.
Some folks plop USA motor blocks underneath them (requires some floor mods), or, send it back to Bachmann for repair.
Common problem. I know of several where they pull the motors and make them dummys and drag around with something powered (or push with a powered boxcar).
