Hi,

Did I read there is an HO Forney available?

All the best,

Bill, I will check the parts department. Is there a phone number or is it just email?

Roger, UK Bachmann does not deal with USA Bachmann. I guess they don't have the parts. Anyway the loco is in pieces now!

I only asked about another motor as Trainman203 suggested this in the thread.

Thanks again,

Now I may be wrong, but as it is it's no good to you.

I'd straighten it out (be brave) and if it breaks be prepared to use tin from a can and epoxy to fashion a repair. It won't be easy. If you can't do that send it back to the techie.

All the best,

Well, thanks to you all, I got the locomotive open right down to the motor. It was surprising how much wriggling, twisting and prying was involved. I only cut piping twice. There was no need to remove the driver contact strip.

Now to find a new motor. I'm in the UK so NWSL will be expensive (import duty and VAT). The motor has written on it "Bühler 07 1 37" and has a two diameter flywheel. I think I might try Branchlines in the UK.

Any suggestions?

Thanks again,

Hello again and thanks for the reply. The locomotive I have is a Spectrum small boiler 2-10-0. Built during WW1 for Russia, some were never delivered after the revolution and remained in the US as "Russian Decapods".

Roger, are these instructions for a different Bachmann locomotive? I have trouble right from the start. I can't find the grate shakers to remove and there is no screw through the cylinder saddle. The cab has little tabs at the rear corners!

Am I missing something still? Thanks for you help.

All the best,

Hi,

I have a 2-10-0 Russian decapod with a possibly burnt out motor.

I can't figure out how to get at the motor. I have removed the contact strip and every screw I can find, but still can't remove wheels, cylinders or get to the motor to replace it.

What am I missing?

All the best,
