    I might have an unused boxed (but  old) replica B1 which AFAIK uses the same chassis.  PM me if interested?

    I think this is not the same as the replacement Bachmann sold as the

    Replica had a rear driven pancake motor with traction tyres thanks

    for the offer though.

    Any retailers have any old stock of these or might consider a

    second hand one but must have tight fitted wheels on axles

    and a quiet motor.

    I'm led to believe this is the case with all new steam outline Bachmann models recently released.

     

    I hope not if this is the case.

    I have just read the review in Model Rail, which states that the Bachmann manual for this loco recommends the use of a smoothed supply when using analogue control, and speculates on the possible fitting of a coreless motor (not mentioned in the BRM or RM reviews). 

     

    My layout is an oval with hidden storage sidings, so has gradients at each end.  I therefore use Gaugemaster feedback controllers to maintain reasonably constant speeds.  I have had a V2 on order for many months and have not previously been aware of this potential problem.  Please can anyone advise?

    Can any one confirm this has a coreless motor.

  4. I guess 31-708 has the later motor and the two models

    are the same wondered why it was re-released in the 

    later box if this is the case.

    They informed me these are only spaced at 2mm as oposed to Wizzards at 4mm if any one have replaced there Bachmann ones not the old

    Mainline tooling i would be interested in them.
