Does Bachmann (or any other manufacturer) sell components of their locos, which could be used for kitbashing? For instance, could you buy the frame, wheels, cylinders and motor assembly and then build the rest yourself? Or would it be necessary to buy a complete loco and scrap the unwanted parts?
I do know they sell the motor blocks for the Shays. You may have to call them to find out about anything else.
It is “my understanding” that Bmann does not sell parts…
Bachamnn will sell darn near anythign you are willing to pay for…I built a dummy Shay truck up from ‘parts’…the only restriction is if its OOP and they are holding everything they have in reserve for warantee repairs…Shay items ran tight there fer a while…
interesting…thanks!
Quote:Cool. Did you order the parts through a dealer, or direct from Bachmann? Do they list parts in their catalog, or did you have to get the part numbers from some other source?
