Hello,
Recently won a set of three Bachmann metroliners off ebay for 40.00. Two outta the three cars run beautifully but the power car seems to be heading for retirement. I did use oil as I thought possible from sitting for awhile this would help, I don't think this is not the issue. The motor does start BUT is just buzzes and sputters out and does not generate any type of movement. Front wheel was a little bent also. I know I have to fix the truck that is bent but what should I do to actually get this car running? I do have the new Walthers proto 2000 metroliner coming in, in 2013 so if I couldn't fix this one I was going to just use that one to pull the trailer cars that I do have that run. If anybody could help that would be awsome. Thank you.
