Does any one know where I can get the drive linkage that connects the tender to the locomotive? This model has the motor in the tender and transfers the power to the locomotives drive wheels via a linkage.
I picked up a used one, but the linkage is GONE. Anyone know what to do? Help!

It sounds like a used machine. Try Bachmann Customer Service. They are pretty good with extra parts and instruction sheets. I've had dealings with them with my doodlebugs.

Good Luck

When in doubt, empty your magazine.

OK thanks for the replies to my inquiry.
