Availability(if any) of Detailed Parts Upgrade Pack for HO Bachmann Loco 31-280

Post by Arnhemjim »

To All Members of the Forum,
Knowing up-front it's a needle in a hay-stack, am searching for the possible availability of the detailed upgrade packet of black plastic parts (or any part there of) which were initially ncluded in Bachmann HO Set 31-280 The Royal Scot Class "Gordon Highlander" Steam Locomotive. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Regards,

I suspect that you will be out of luck from Bachmann UK, as the 31-X X X numbers indicate a model from a production series which Bachmann abandoned fifteen or more years ago; pretty sure this model dates from circa 2000. Fossicking around for unused packs is likely to be difficult from Arizona, needle in haystack indeed. The best bet would be a knowledgeable UK retailer holding stock of old Bachmann products, but I don't know of such*... Anyone else with the knowledge?

* I got lazy and solely used the now closed Hattons operation for such s/h searches these last 20 years...

Ah, I found the relevant part of Bachmann UK spares listing and this was it for the split chassis Scot:

No help there.
