Parts for a Bachmann Consolidation

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

Well the holidays are over and I wish I could say that all of my trains that were used under the tree came out untouched. Thankfully my On30 set was untouched but I cant say the same for my B&O 2-8-0 Consolidation. My 16mo old daughter grabbed it the other day and decided it was a toy. She would not touch it when my wife or myself were in the room. Smart girl. But somehow she lost the compressor. Yup it is gone, searched the whole house, nothing. She does have a bad habbit of throwing things in the trash can and I think that is where this might have went. The engine is a Bachmann Spectrum 2-8-0, and I need a new compressor in black. Do any of you know where I can get a replacement part?

OH and I know about Bachmann’s website but I am trying to only replace the compressor not the whole body of the loco.

If Bachman doesn’t list any thing, how about the detail/scratch building suppliers in Walthers?

Hope she didn’t swallow the part. If she did, I hope it passes through peacefully.

Good luck,

You’re either going to have to try getting a Cal-Scale compressor from Bowser: http://bowser-trains.com/hoother/calscale/Cal-Scale-Steam-Loco-Parts1.jpg or get a Precision Scale compressor: http://www.caboosehobbies.com/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=790&products_id=31224

You will have to paint either one of those as these are unpainted brass castings.

Yup that is exactly what I need. Thanks for the link I should be ordering one from Caboose Hobbies here soon.
