The motor on my Bachmann open tram has failed. I know that there has been a lot of criticism of thse motor blocks on the forum, but the rest of the block seems in good order. Is it possible to get a spare motor? This would make a nice easy repair job. I have seen mention of the USA Trains NW2 block as a replacement, but it seems that this is quite a bit deeper, so that the tram would sit higher, not look quite right and might not couple correctly if so required. I couldn't cut out the floor on an open tram.
Any other suggestions anyone?
Might it be better to buy another one and use this one as a trailer? Would the Bachmann tram cope with a trailer?
