Bachmann Power Trucks for Sale

I have some Bachmann tram power trucks and truck sides surplus to requirements that are being recovered from models being fitted with new scratch built trucks, £25 for a truck, £5 for a set of truck sides plus £6 uk p&p.

A couple are from what I believe to be the first generation power truck and some from the later models sold under the Liliput name, all in working condition.

Edit: photo of a truck with the sides still attached and the truck sides alone, please note not all the trucks sides are plain black, some are cream.
It would appear their is a third power truck I hadn't seen before in a Liliput marketed model, this one has a lead connector hard wired to the power truck which plugs in to a wee circuit board mounted underside of the tram body.

What type of motor are they, or are they non motored now?

Paul,

Sorry I have no idea what motor Bachmann fitted to the power trucks, what I am selling is the motorised unit seen in the photo. The power trucks have simply been unscrewed from the models body, they are the complete motor unit as removed from the trams.
I haven't opened or modified the units.

They run fine as stand alone units.

The diodes are interesting, must have been for directional lighting.

Correct, only the older units have the diodes attached to the power truck, the more modern ones have the diode in the main body of the tram.

I have updated my original mail with another photo and some additional text.

edit: my Photo Gallery has pictures of the trams from which the trucks have been removed.

There's a Bachmann/Kader 881 motor in the trolley. I've fixed or replaced about 4 of them so far.

All the original trucks are surplus to requirements because I am replacing the original trucks as I want something that sits lower and has different truck sides, the trucks being sold have all been test run and all run fine, not having changed any of the internals myself I have to assume they all have their original motors.

The 2 Liliput trucks are now spoken for, I do have what I believe are the second and third generation trucks left, I say they are second and third generation Bachmann trucks simple because they connect with the tram body slightly differently and if Bachmann changed one thing I am assuming that they may have changed other aspects of the truck.
