Having been an OO enthusiast and operator for 50+ years I am dumbfounded to find that I can't see anywhere Bachmann generally suppling spare motor parts to the trade.
I am seeking confirmation, or otherwise, from our members, this is correct.
Specifically I am looking for a motor for 32-003 Kinlet Hall, bought in 2005 and find there are only spare motors for split chassis types being offered.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Last time I wanted a Bachmann spare I emailed them and they got back to me and I got the spare.
Try this.

Worked a treat. Have you contacted them?

I have always found Bachmann quick to respond to any service / spares questions I have had.
Have you contacted them yet?

Thanks for the info. chaps.
No I had not tried Bachmann direct but will do so.
I now assume that general spares for locomotive parts are not available to dealers and agents as Hornby are.
There is always something to learn.

I was referring to spare parts might be slower. A query can be answered from home.

I needed spares for an 08 class and contacted Peters Spares, they said that couldn't help and suggested that I contact Bachmann direct.

That’s right, that’s what we have been saying, Bachmann do their own spares and a very good job the do as well.
