Bachmann 4-6-0

Picked up a older Bachmann starter set. I want to replace the chassis assembly with new. Will the anniversary #81099 chassis fit and does it have metal gears.

Louis,

The 81099 chassis can be made to fit (I have done it) you will have to shorten the air tanks though.

The gears are still some sort of plastic. According to the Bachmann parts catalog, this is the gearbox that is in the 81099 chassis…

This is the link to the Version 6 chassis WITH metal gears…
