Older Bachmann set parts availability

[Traindude51]

Hello Gentlemen, I have recently purchased a couple of older Bachmann train sets, I.e. The Royal Scott and The Orient Express. These are both tender driven sets. My question is how available are parts for these sets. Thanks in advance for your replies.

Those tender drives were not very reliable. Had to run them at about 100 mph, lol, and usually a plastic gear would strip a tooth or two. They actually did not go very fast but they sure sounded like it.
Look in the Parts page. I believe this style of tender is still made but the newer ones are different design. No idea if the shell from yours will fit the new frame, motor.
