Jonathan,

Thanks for the additional details, I'll remove the shell and give it a try.

Thanks!

Jonathan,

Can you be more specific on where the tabs are that hold the bottom cover in place?  I've tried to pry the trapezoid shaped areas on the sides of the middle, as well as the tapered part on the ends of the truck bottom cover, but both of them just seem like I'm damaging the plastic, and don't show any signs of moving. 

Many thanks!

Good to know, thank you!

Jonathan,

Thank you for the info, I appreciate it.

If I was to replace the truck, would this be the part that I'm looking for (Truck - Assorted Color (HO Universal - Diesel Locos) Model #BAC00075)?

Thank you!

Hi All,

I have a HP GP9 Diesel that appears to have a broken axle (it likely took a fall about 2 ft onto carpet, or at least that's my best guess).

I found the parts diagram at https://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/dwg/dwgs/HO_GP9_DCC.pdf.  Is it likely that this is a repair that I can do myself, or would I most likely be better off sending it in for service?  I'm handy with electronics, but I don't have much experience in working on trains (gotten as far as removing the shell, but that's about it).

If it's worth trying, any thoughts on what parts I need here?  And could anyone post a link or any instructions to get me going in the right direction.  I'm getting errors trying to add an image here, so I posted them in Imgur.

Happy to add more pictures and details if that's helpful.

Thanks in advance.
