Bachmann Class 47 strip down and service guide

This is a complete (almost) strip down and service guide for the current (2014-2015) Bachmann 00 gauge class 47.

When this loco arrived as part of Bachmann’s 25 Years special pack it made a horrible grinding noise in one direction that running in just was not going to fix.

Initially removal of the body was a disaster due to the Perspex clips and over use of black gunk used to secure the wires in the chassis.

This guide takes you through the steps to get the body off and points out the hazards along the way.

I do not claim to be an expert at all! What I will show you comes from experience (sometimes bitter) and with the kind advice from my friends on RMweb.co.uk and direct to my YouTube videos.

However, if you follow the steps you may also be successful in curing the noise issue I had.

Once the body is off, I will guide you in bogie removal, wiring issues and finally lubrication of the all-important motor bearings.

Finally after testing a reassembly guide follows showing things to be considered along the way.

I hope that my mistakes will help others.

While I am disappointed in Bachmann for a number of recent issues, it has to be said that this is a fine locomotive and I am very glad they produced it. Mike June 2015
