Check out the Bachmann service site Bachmann Trains Online - Service / Parts If this is an older 2-8-0 I would recommend sending it in with the $15.00 service fee for repair. Note as the likelyhood is that as it is no longer in production it is unlikely to be repaired and you will be offered...

A check of the Bowser/Stewart site indicates that none of the B units have the side number boards. Other than Stewart has any other manufacturer (excluding brass) modeled the side numbers?

Will mothball them and decide later if I really want to get rid of them of hold on to them for some...
