Well, it turns out the drivers from the newer 4-6-0 are the same as the Spectrum 4-6-0 with the 52" drivers. Ordered the new ones and now the rebuild is done. Now I just have to decal, get a Soundtraxx decoder for it, and she is ready to go. It runs like a dream.

I had no idea this group existed. Thank you.
According to an old MR review, the Bachmann 2-10-0 Decapod uses 52" drivers. I suspect they are the same drivers Bachmann used in the low-drivered 4-6-0.

I would check with Bachmann. I didn't see the 52" drivers for this specific engine in their parts for the 4-6-0, but the same wheels may have been used in other engines (like the 2-10-0 Decapod or one of their 0-6-0 or 2-6-2s) that are still available.

Hi all. I rebuilt a Bachmann Spectrum 4-6-0 that had suffered an unfortunate fall. Once I got it all put together, I found out that there was more damage than I thought. I am now in search for a set of 52" drivers for this unit. If any of you have a set, or a basket case loco that you would like to get rid of please let me know. Thanks in advance.
