3- Williams by Bachman Scale FA pilot
I have several Williams Diesel engines that I bought new over the last 5 years. I checked them all last week when this topic came up and so far they are all okay. Should I expect these issues to start popping up over time or is more of an outside chance? Also, are these side frames generally available or not, and if not should we expect the to be available at some point? Also, do have the Williams Peter Trolley and it already has issues, only two years old. Thanks for your thoughts.
Cheers, Pete
When I was a collector more than an operator I use to be tell anybody that handled my trains to pick them up from grabbing the trucks. I still do it that way. That’s how I found the problem on the Williams engines when the wireframes just broke off. They didn’t look bad but they cracked off with hardly any pressure
i forgot one more for the list. The red r12 set. Never opened it. I sold it as new which it was and every truck was cracked at the wireframe mounts. The wireframes were good the trucks had the zincpest
