Drive shaft

[nscaler711]

Where can i get a Drive shaft for my Bachmann F7A?
I seemed to have "lost" it.
Its been awhile since i drove it so im not sure where it went to.

Also is there any way i can shut this thing up......it is so loud it drowns out my stereo.....on full volume 
Any help is welcome...very much so!

Give Bachmann a call, and ask themfor a drive shaft.

Well, as for the noise, most locos are pretty noisy in comparewith other brands.  I usually have to dismantle the entire loco and give it a cleaning and lub once a month, and that should reduce the noise.

i drove the F7A into the sink filled with water.....she was quiet for a few months before i stopped running her (she still ran even though she got wet....really wet)
But ive cleaned her and lubed her gears but she still is noisey.....do i need to run her into the sink again?

Btw there is a post about that story in this forum.

Oh,where is the story...this is amust read.

Also, when you put the loco back together, make sure all the gears and shaft line up correctly.

I don't think you train stops at all the stations
