My Bachmann Royal Blue n-scale train has lost the wheels on the front tender truck. What now.

Michael,If your set is not very old, I would be asking Bachmann for some help. Even so, the warranty period on that set is limited lifetime and they do honor it. I have found that on reasonable issues they are very reasonable. If by chance its not a warranty coverage issue, they have a good on-line catalog that will likely have these wheels and repair parts are usually inexpensive. But call customer service. If you can't get them on the phone right then, leave a message. They will call you back. I have had good luck with Bachmann products and service. I know its a bummer that your set is down so I hope this helps. Good luck. Ken Michael,If your set is not very old, I would be asking Bachmann for some help.

I think your best option is contacting Bachmann as stated by the other commenters. Do you have a local Hobby Shop that does train repair? Local model railroad club or n scale online forums may also be of help.

Your best bet is to send it to Bachmann for repairs. Include return postage, and $ 15.00. It will take 6 to 8 weeks. If you have the guarantee postcard send that in first. The guarantee is good for a year and you will not have to send in the $15.00. Good luck.

Do you have them? They can be replace tighten truck If not call Bachman for a replacement. Common problem

Probably not a problem as long as you haven't broken them or damaged the truck etc. If they've just vibrated loose you can gently spring them back into place - the instructions that came with the set tells you how. Otherwise follow the other answers advice and contact Bachmann.

You may have to have Lionel service that. Or if you just purchased, return it for a replacement as I did. Wasn't happy about it either!

I had no problem like that the seller should replace the wheel or the entire buggy if not happy. Good luck please let all us the out come .

I have a model from less than a year ago. The blue bit on the handle and the blue caps on the axle on which the top flips pop off and the top comes apart into five pieces (not counting the blue caps and blue plate on the handle). I soaked them all in a bleach water solution, except I didn't let the plunger go under the water, because it appears to be made of two pieces yet doesn't seem to come apart.

The problem may be that one end of the indicator bar is not properly set in the track. Mine was not. I was able to take the back off and reseat it without breaking. Good luck.

Don't know what you're asking. If wheels were damaged they would have replaced them. Who is Ned? I totally love mine and wish I had purchased it a long time ago!

Try contacting the seller "Cavalier Wholesale" they may be able to point you in the right direction?? I know it is a brand name of Mpetstroller but I was not able to find a website for the actual brand. Hope you get the wheel fixed!!

Call Barker ASAP. Have your receipt with the order number handy. They were really helpful when I had some questions. Both of ours came from barker with the wheels locked on. Best of luck getting this resolved.

I do not, but the thing is actually sold through Harbor Freight. You might could contact them for replacement parts.

A friend of mine and I have this train. He actually had it first, and I bought it after because I like it so much. I am in the same situation as you. He says he buys extra track from a reseller, and will be sending me his information today. I will post the answer shortly.

You could check on eBay for parts or with the NordicTrack company and see if they sell replacement parts.

Greeting, Try www.millwaulkee handtrucks.com. A quick look shows they have repair parts. Best Andy

I have yet to see the train sold separately, just the cars. I would recommend calling Vtech for a replacement which they may do at no cost or return the set to wherever you purchased it from for a new one. I would try Vtech first.

I really dont know if you could find the wheels in rubber. You might try contacting the manufacturer to se if the have replacement wheels made of rubber that might be used on pricier upgraded models. if they have them it is easy to snap the originals off and put the new ones on. Just pinch in the little spring loaded plastic ears at the connection to the frame. Good luck.

Carol, Have you tried contacting Great Northern? They should have replacement parts or maybe contact the seller and see if they could assist. Maybe they have a contact person.

Try putting it in the track and roll it around the track several times FAST. If it's been sitting idle for a long time, this might bring it "back to life".

Well Nick it has been over a year, I don't believe it has a light on it. Two things, it was an N gauge and the problem was the drive wheels came a part so it was sent back. It is a great looking train. I loved the style of it and if you get it and it works I think you' will really like it. I hope this helpsLarry Bernstein
