Hi
I have a question. Does anyone know how to replace the drawbar assembly on the Acela passenger car? I do not see well, so diagrams don't help. I have the replacement parts. So any advice here would be helpful.
Do I need to take apart the car itself?
Thanks for any guidance.

Thank you both for your help. I ordered 12 wheel sets. This is cheaper then replacing all the trucks, that looks too pricey.
I got the NEM, 36" pointed ones as was recommended.
However, I have a question. I have never heard of a wheel truck tuning tool. Where do I get this and what does it do?

Little more complicated then that. I have had these cars for about 9 years, but they were in storage for sometime. When my kid was younger, he removed the wheels rom the trucks. So I need new trucks and wheels. They are still firmly attached to the chassis. Just no wheels. Can you put new wheels in the trucks?
THanks.

Hi
I need new trucks for three of my HO Acela passenger cars. Bachmann does not have any at this time. Does any one know where I can get some or if there is an aftermarket manufacturer? Thanks for the help.
