Odin's greetings from the Shetland Isles, Scotland.

I have two Accucraft live steam G scale shays which share very similar drive bogies, one of which has a broken frame that seems to be made of some rubbish brittle cast pot metal & Accucraft do not seem to keep spares for out of production models. I am wondering if the Bachmann Spectrum track powered Shay drive bogie side frames etc might be adapted? Iv looked at the Backmann Spares exploded diagrames and looks a possibility but i cant tell if they are all plastic construction or metal?

Wonder you guys can advise.

Thanks

Vic
 
Live steam and plastic do not do well together in the case of the early Bachmann models, but the later metal type might well do the job. Let us know how you get on. My pair of electric replacement trucks came from Kent Garden Rail - an excellent company with which to deal. So far my Accucraft live steam 3C Shay seems to have resisted disintegration, in spite of being the very first of its kind to be sold in UK.
