About 18 months ago I bought a Bachmann 2-8-0 from a dealer on e-bay which was advertised as new. The dealer was US based. I spent the intervening time , removing the W.P.& Y paint job , & repainting it black. (reattaching the many pieces of detailing that dropped off along the way, & rebuilding the tender bogie that disintegrated of its own accord.)Anyway the great day came to give it a run. After lubing it up as per instructions ,I placed it on the track & applied the power. I could hear the motor running but it didn't appear to be transmitting its power through the gearbox. I have removed the outer gearbox cover & noted that the cog within just spins on it's axel. It does not appear to be making contact with any other gears.
If anybody has any idea's on how to proceed i would be most grateful
