Anyone know or have the center gear & axles for the Bachmann GS4 HO scale? Mine are all spilt. Its from the 1990’s. I’m going to give it DCC if I can get axles or complete wheel sets. Bachmann is out of stock. Any other parts sources out there? Regards…
Bachmann site. Look under the Parts page. You might be able to exchange for a new and better loco.
I had an old pre DCC two motor HO 44 ton that had a cracked gear and I got the DCC Ready HO 44 ton.
There are different forums for different scales.
Also, there are diagrams of different locos, just not all. Some manuals also.

IF you cant get the right gears, watch fleabay for a Bowser repower kit, fits the bachman AND Lionel GS4’s.
I used one on mine, and it not only gave me steel axles and a more robust motor, but also enough extra weight that it would pull as much as my Bowser locos!
They are not being made anymore[sigh], but do show up from time to time!
I have the motor drive unit for the GS4 locomotive rebuilt with other parts. I have bench run them for one hour. I sell them for ($45.00) forty-five dollars. All the instruction you will need will be in the box. some changes you will need to make like the power from the tender and some soldering these are included also.If you are not satified I will return your money. ramjet43
