I have two Bachmann HO USRA 2-6-6-2 locos and a Bachmann 80 ton 3-truck Shay. I need plastic drive shafts for each side of the motor on the 2-6-6-2 and the front truck assy for the Shay. Bachmann no longer carries these parts. Neither does NWSL. I've searched the internet multiple times, but in vain. Anyone have any ideas where I can find them?
While NWSL may not have an exact replacement for the Bachmann drivelines their universal kits should work. I’ve never seen a driveline that I couldn’t make from NWSL parts that wouldn’t work an any locomotive.Mel My Model Railroad http://melvineperry.blogspot.com/ Bakersfield, California I'm beginning to realize that aging is not for wimps.
Hello All,
mkepler954I need plastic drive shafts for each side of the motor...
While not familiar with steam drivelines check out the A-Line Universal Coupling Kits.
Hope this helps.
"Uhh...I didn’t know it was 'impossible' I just made it work...sorry"
While I am not familiar with the drives on either one of the Bachmann locomotives you mentioned, I have used several of the universal kits from both Northwest Short Line (NWSL) and American Limited (A-Line).
I have not encountered a driveline that had a universal I could not repair with these products.

If you can’t get them from Bachman you will have to make complete new drivelines. Check with Northwest Short Line.Mel My Model Railroad http://melvineperry.blogspot.com/ Bakersfield, California I'm beginning to realize that aging is not for wimps.
