It's got me beat.  As myself and spookshow observed there are no visible differences but although results seem to vary you would hardly think they would go to the effort and expense of mailing two pair halfway around the world to me otherwise.  I would also be interested to know what their findings were and what changes they made.

I wonder because they look the same spookshow accidentally got sent old ones?  It would be interesting to hear from anyone else who has installed the replacement trucks.

Well good news to report.

I received two pairs of new trucks from the service department last week.  Even under a magnifying glass I couldn't for the life of me see any difference between them and the originals to the extent that I had to mark the old ones before I removed them so I didn't get them mixed up with the new ones and put them back on the locos.  I thought I was wasting my time but both SD45s ran smoothly as soon as I put them on the track without any of the previous stalls and stuttering, even the one I hadn't given any running in after I gave up on the first one.  I took them to the club running day on Sunday and they performed flawlessly.

I have absolutely no idea what you did Bachmann but thanks.

Now I just have to renumber one of them.  How about doing diesel locomotives in multiple road numbers, or at least two or three, like the other manufacturers do.

Thanks, will contact the service department tomorrow.

We will test some on this end to determine if there is a problem.

It's now six months.  Any results from the tests yet?

Any word on this? After three months my two SD45's are still just $250 paper weights.

Going by the RS3 on the turntable in the photo I don't think you'll fit a steam loco any bigger than a 2-8-0 on it.

I'd like to see the decapod as well. The reason given for not making it in the past was that there was no motor small enough, after the 4-6-0 and 2-6-0 and the 44 and 70 tonner diesels, not to mention all the small British N scale steamers Bachmann are making,  that won't wash any more.

I would like to see an EM -1 2-8-8-4, just like what has been announced for HO scale.  I would even commit to buying 4 of them.

Ditto for the Alco S4 switcher. You've done a good job with the 44 and 70 tonners, a Bachmann S4 would be a winner.

Yes please, I'd like the coaches separate too.

I want them so much I joined up just to ask.
