James has a problem in your engine

[PieroRK]

Good afternoon:

I'm a fan of Thomas the train that makes Bachmann. I had a problem with the engine of James that has stopped working. Does not seem to have a solution so I would like to know what kind of motor is and where or what might replace it.

A greeting and thank you very much for your kindness.

Hello there,
I'm into modelling and I've had some experience with replacing motors.  If you would like, I can either replace the motor for you or I can send you the motor to install in James.  If you talk to ThomasFan247 he can probably tell you more as I have replaced the motor in his Bachmann Edward.

Yeah, sometimes the model overheats and just dies. You could have him look at it.

Or send him to Bachmann. Isn't there a lifetime warranty or at least some kind of warranty.

[Anthony P2]

the warranty is limited. that means you need to send in the card so bachmann can keep track of it just in case something goes wrong.

I had the same problem with Henry. My son ran him today and one of the brush holders got hot and came lose in the motor. I did figure out a way to repair him, but was disappointed this happened to a train that is a week old.
