Bachmann will certainly fix it. I don't know about the 50 buck thing, but if yer payin, I don't think they care WHERE it came from. That might be the smartest thing to do until you can upgrade it.

Time to get a BBT drive for it. They're supposed to be bulletproof and will pull twice as much as the stock drive.

Its such a nice looking loco though and I just spent the last week or so detailing it more Disapprove [V]

I think I'll have a go at taking it apart to see if it can be fixed, I'd like to figure out how to take these engines apart anyway maybe I can fix it with parts from one of my big haulers Mischief [:-,]

This a pic of the loco from the auction, nothing newer lost the digital camera Dead [xx(]

I bought a ten wheeler a year ago of ebay and it appeared dead.  After taking it apart I noticed that a gear had cracked and was binding up the motor.  You may want to check that.

Just got woken up by my sister and her kid wanting to know why the train doesnt work...

So I roll out of bed not knowing what train there talking about and go downstaris and find they put the one Bmann Annie I got off ebay a while back on the tracks... headlight is on so its getting power and I tried running one of my big haulers and it works fine... The annie is dead though only the headlight and smoke unit seem to work doesnt make any noise just sits there Grumpy [|(]
