RMweb Gold ngtrains.com Posted June 1, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 1, 2017 EDM Models now has the NWSL regear kits in stock for the Bachmann 0n30 Railbus and Railtruck. The kit for the Rail Truck is £21 and the one for the Railbus is £32 and they can be ordered here http://www.ngtrains....ears/Gears.html The bumph on the packaging says they're an advanced level kit and that if you are unsure of doing it you should get professional help to do it. I haven't done either yet (but have some to do) but looking at the instructions I think that if you have done the Shay then these kits are well within your ability. The Shay gears are a press fit on to the shafts and a source of failure is that the force needed it quite high and bordering on that needed to bend the shafts (don't ask me how I know). For some time now when doing shays I have reamed the gears to make them a looser fit and then secured them with a loctite bearing fit. These kits have adopted that methodology and come with a small tube of Loctite 620. If anyone is coming to the Gauge 0 Guild summer show at the Doncaster Dome this Saturday or the 7mm NGA Convention on the 10th I will have them on the EDM Models stand 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
