    Bachamnn TGV truck gears replacement?

    Thanks for the answers, seems the ones I find at ebay are being sold as "non working" due to the same problem with the gears :( The Acela looks similar (even if I couldn´t compare they closely) but Bachmann is out of stock for those too :( Seems that loco will end up as a dummy...

    Nickel-silver or fake?

    Thanks for your answers! I will try to cleaning them to see if there is oxide. BTW, Im from Argentina, thats why getting N scale stuff is not that easy. There are several shops here in Buenos Aires, but they maybe have 100 locos in H0 and not even 10 in N. Well, I will post any news...
