I have a spare Bachmann Connie tender -- the whole thing. Send me an e-mail and we can discuss whether you would like to have just the trucks or the whole tender.

I could suggest ones from the larger Aristo tenders....possible some Bachmann passenger car truck....seen that once or twice.
Other options are Accucraft, Simpson used to make some, etc.

TOC,

I've enlarged an Annie and it's tender up to 1:20 scale. The original trucks just don't look right now. I was hoping to be able to find a larger set (like the ones on the Connie tender) to replace them with.

No. Unless you happen to catch them when a unit has just arrived that they replaced and will sell you the trucks for.
There are no parts.
Once said, every once in a while Kader makes something.
Never seems to be what they asked for, but at least something.

Are yours broken or just need a set?

Bachmann question
Posted by grandpopswalt on Monday, November 14, 2005 2:07 AM
Does anyone know if Bachmann sells the heavy duty, leafspring trucks mounted on the tender supplied with the Connie as a separate item? If not, can anyone suggest another source for such a truck?

Thanks
