Is there any place one may obtain parts for N-scale engines? ie; gears, brushes for motors, complete motors etc. I have had my trains in storage for 25 years while pursuing a carreer in Law enforcement. many need more than tlc they need parts.
TIA,
Sheriff
Hey, welcome to the forum sheriff!
If you’re looking to do restorations, train shows and swap meets are the best places. Sometimes you can contact the manufaturer and they’ll have some parts, but a lot of times they won’t.
If it’s a Bachmann product you can send it to them with $15 and they’ll either fix it or replace it. If they don’t have the same model any more they’ll offer to replace it with something similar if you want. Not a bad deal!
Honestly though, N scale has come SO FAR in the last 8 or 10 years that you’d be better off, if your looking for runners, to buy the latest stuff out. You woun’t believe the difference between the latest offerings and the old stuff.
