More locomotive shops
I have done some work on the AHM 2-4-0's driveshaft which was stripped out on one end, it is ready ro go to the paint shops. The AHM 4-4-0 now has a KD coupler on the tender. all it needs is a freight pilot, and it will be ready to go to the paint shops.
I have done some searching, Bachman now carries the parts I need for the front truck of my Bachman Climax. those parts are ordered, and I can look forward to putting that locomotive in light service somewhere. (the locomotive's mechanism is stouter than the gears in the trucks, so this time i won't overload it.
I have also ordered traction tires for the two Mantua General based 4-4-0s.
I finally figured out how my Bachman Southern Green 2-8-0, which serves as the interchange passenger locomotive comes apart. I had suspected a broken drive belt, but the drive belt pulley was loose on the motor shaft. I glued it on, and finally , after many mishaps, got the locomotive back together. I have to make a wiring repair,and then it should be back into order.
