Bachmann 2-8-0 (Reading) - old (with pancake motor)

Does anyone have an exploded diagram & parts list for this that they can share with me…

I sent a request to Bachmann a couple of weeks ago and have heard zilch

Did you check out HO Seeker? They have a lot of diagrams on their site.

Did you look on the Bachmann site? They’ve been posting a lot more diagrams on their site lately.

Thanks for the pointer - didn’t find anything this old on either site

Sorry. You might want to try asking on the Bachmann forum if anyone has a diagram they can send you. I tried checking on some other sites and couldn’t find any diagrams either.

The motor and gear train are the same in all of the old pancake motor Bachmanns, unfortunately the instructions posted for the 0-6-0 only show the shell removed, not a complete exploded view. [sigh]

Are you looking for a specific part, or just trying to get it apart?

I have an exploded diagram for Bachmann’s old 2-8-2 Mikado #41-545-01. I could scan it for you if you would like.

I too sent an inquiry to Bachmann a while ago and have not received a reply. They have usually been pretty quick to respond so I wonder what the deal is.

BTW those engines were what Reading rebuilt into 4-8-4’s. Interesting Bachmann chose that model. Its prolly the largest 2-8-0 made.

Got a real letter from them about a week ago - with a much xeroxed copy of the parts diagram…

and a note that many parts for it are unavailable…

Good thing that I don’t need any parts!!

I recently updated HOseeker.net with more Bachmann Diagrams including a 2-8-0 Consolidation.

Maybe this one will help.
