Bachmann Trains - Broadway Limited Ready-to-Run N Scale Electric Train Set - Model Railroad Starter Kit for Collectors & Hobbyists - Perfect for Home Layouts & Holiday Displays

I purchased this set at a significant discount from Amazon Resale listed as "used like new."Imagine my surprise that the previous owner spared me the hassle of having to get rid of more useless EZ track, because they only returned what was visible through the windows in the packaging.I had a good laugh when I immediately spotted that the wheel assemblies (aka trucks, bogies) were missing from two of the passenger cars. I guess you dont need wheels if you don't have track?The locomotive itself gave me hours of enjoyment, as it was completely inoperative as delivered. Fixing it involved full disassembly:-Adding electrical isolation film to the split-frame chassis, as there were electrical shorts present.-Re-gauging the drivers (wheels) as they were pushed together, perhaps in an attempt to convert to narrow gauge?-Quartering the drivers, as they had been twisted out of quarter.-Aligning the gears on the axles of the drivers to the correct position to make contact with the internal gears connected to the motor-Straightening one bent axle-Centering the axle shafts so they were not poking out either side of the drivers.-Soldering weakened wire connections to pcb board holding headlightAbsolutely priceless experience of troubleshooting and repairing a broken model steam locomotive. Bachmann makes a very solid and servicable model in its n scale 4-6-0.Note: NEW from factory units rarely have defects and are reliable and smooth runners, unless mistreated.
