What Anni Chassis to use?

[WaynesTrains]

Hi, I have a B&O Royal Blue Big Hauler #90016 passenger set that has a stripped drive gear. I want to replace the chassis with the Anniversary chassis. What chassis number will be compatible with what my B&O Royal Blue set? Thanks.

Hi Wayne,

Bachmann never made a direct replacement for the Royal Blue chassis in the Annie Lineup.  So I have listed below one that will work, but you will need to paint the chassis blue to  match your old chassis, unless you do not mind having the all black chassis.   Also the chassis below does have two switches in the front smokebox instead of the one found in many of the older chassis.  If yours has only the smoke switch you can cut out an opening for the direction switch.

If you have not done so you can check out the following link for more info about chassis replacement.

Thank you - I actually like the black chassis. I will order the replacement as soon as Bachmann opens up there website for orders.

I have been checking back regularly to see if I can buy this chassis. I received an email saying Bachmann was reopening. I am still unable to buy this part. Any idea when I can buy it? Thanks
