Hi,
I recently purchaced a Bachmann 0-6-0 USRA switcher. My first steam engine purchase ever.
Got home and took it out of the box. Found the piston connecting the cylanders to the main rod missing. Totally gone, nada, zilch. so the main rod just hangs off the drive wheels flopping around.
This was on the side of the locomotive facing away from the box.
Yes I know thats what I get for not opening the box and looking.
I filled out the web form on the Bachmann website over a week ago and nobody has gotten back to me. Needless to say I may just chuck this thing in my pile of Ebay auction stuff and forget Bachmann and steam engines all together.
Has anyone else dealt with Bachmann in obtaining missing parts?
