Heisler trucks

[Chris9017]

Hello, my Heiser's rear truck has finally given out the ghost after 8 years of hard operation.   It probably won't be long until the front truck wears out too, so I have completely disassembled the rear truck to replace the motor, wires, and electrical pick ups.  But before I rebuild the trucks to order the motor and pick ups, is it possible to get a hold of brand new trucks?   If not, then are roller pick-ups, and the 5-pole can motors, available to purchase?

Thank you.

The Large Scale Heisler has been out of production for some time now so parts may be scarce. You should call the Bachmann service department at (215) 533-1600 to inquire about availability of parts. Ask for the parts manager.

Unfortunately, only the smoke stacks are available for the Heisler, but I also found out, that it was the bolster pick up that went bad since the pick up film wore out.   I just wired the motor and pick ups to the main circuit board, set it up so it's in the common Large Scale run, and it works great.
