I bought this Bachmann Rail truck years ago and it has not been run due to the known problem with the loose screws in the drive train wearing out the gears prematurely.
I finally tackled the job and followed along with Greg E’s tutorial, thanks Greg. It was an easier repair than I thought it was going to be.
When the truck was back together I didn’t want to put the rack body back on so I started thinking about a box for it. I had a LGB shorty that lost its trucks to the Beyer Garret and it was a perfect fit!
The RR colours are red and black but I think I might leave this grey as a nod to the original galloping goose. I still need to paint the rear platform black.
