Bachmann model # location?

Were do I find the model number on a Bachmann Spectrum locomotive?

I picked up one for $20 at a swap with 2 coaches, tender and Locomotive.

Tender has Denver & Rio Grand on it.

The Locomotive just has #14 on it.

The motor runs but it sounds like a gear is striped.

I have never dismantled a G Scale Locomotive before so I would like to do some research before I jump in.

Just for some background, I have been working on things like this for many years just not any trains.

Take a look at this web page.

http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/references.php#

 

Somewhat confusingly the Large Scale items are in two sections, one around the middle of the page and another near the end.

 

I suggest examining the "LS ANNIVERSARY EDITION 4-6-0 STEAM LOCOMOTIVE " file from the list in the middle and the

"LS 4-6-0 METAL GEARS.frame & wheels " from the list near the end.

 

I think the "metal gears" in the latter link may refer to metal valve gear rather than a metal replacement for the plastic gear in yours that is probably split or stripped. I hope I'm wrong though and a metal replacement is on offer.

You will find the latest LS Anniversary Edition 4-6-0 has metal gears.

There are complete chassis avaliable for the 4-6-0. I don't know if the metal gears are avaliable separately.

I think you will find the 4-6-0 is a BigHauler series and not a Spectrum loco.
