Per subject line, looking for the 2 pairs of wheels that fit in part # 3721 Pilot Truck & wheel assembly, or the Pilot Truck + the wheelsets if thats how they are available.

Parts can be seen at that excellent resource accessible from this Forum, right at the bottom of the Forum listings - the HOSeeker.net page for Bachmann Loco Overland 4-8-4, in the exploded parts diagram.

Have tried Bachmann without response so far.
Anyone know of an alternative source of this & other Bachmann parts??
Thanks

You're not going to find those parts outside of scrapping out another unit, they're simply too old to inventory. I have a mechanism with the part on it. If you can't find it, we can probably work out a trade if you'd like.

Well, to my surprise Bachmann came through in the mail today with the correct pilot truck & wheels.
They must have a few tucked away somewhere.
In the past I have been somewhat uncharitable about their customer service so credit where credit is due & I acknowledge their good work this time.

Thank you
The email used was their Customer Service Dept.:

cs@bachmanntrains.com

The person in Bachmann who ran came through for me was Barb Graczykowski
