As a temporary measure I had a lightbulb moment .As it will only be pulling in a forward motion I took the coupling from the front and put it on the back. It couples to wagons and pulls ok. Saved a few bob there !!!

As long as it fits on a Bachmann loco that is what I need plus the coupling to go with it. I will have a look in my bits to see what's hiding there

I have acquired a Bachmann 8750 pannier tank loco number 32-200b, which has no rear coupling. It is not just the bit that clips in but also the part with the triangular section that goes into the loco body for the coupling to clip into. What do I need to obtain so it can couple to wagons.

Thanks

Just a heads up. Using discount code SAVE15 you can get 15% off all in stock at Hornby

Try an auction house that specialise in model railways or a shop that advertises it buys complete collections. Don't expect a large amount of cash !!

I put the big light on and applied a bit of pressure and bingo the motor snapped into place. Connected the drive shafts, put the seats into position and clipped the body back on. Now it runs ok with no rattles so it is now out of the repair shed and back to operational duties, and the replacement pu...

In daylight I realised that I tried to mount the upside down :oops: After inverting it I can see that on one side the clips that should hold the motor securely in situ are missing, hence the aforesaid rattle. I will clean the wheels and put it back together. Thanks for the advice and diagram. I may ...

Thanks all I will have a look in daylight tomorrow

So I now know what happens when an amateur tries. I did what was suggested and had 3 clips away from the chassis each side. I then pulled the top from the bottom and it exploded. I now have a rolling chassis with motor, front and rear seating, body, and two drive shafts. The motor is only held rough...

Thanks, I will give that a go later

I have a Lima class 67 diesel and wish to separate the body from the chassis. I can see 2 screws underneath. If I undo them will it come apart or id there more I will have to do. additionally is there an instruction sheet available
