Rail Truck

[teds train]

Regarding my garden railroad Bachmann Rail Truck, the drive line will not stay connected at either end (transmission or rear end).  The transmission and rear end have a ball joint with two tips on it, the drive line has a U-joint with indentations on each end and they continually get knocked off.  Any suggestions?

 Get the drive shaft re attached to the u joints(ball joint w/ tips) Try putting a small zip tie around the arms of the u section of the drive shaft. Roll on the power easy, sounds like you may have a weak yoke (u joint) on the drive shaft.        Hope this is some help......Later All........S.B.
