Wow, I looked at the ad… this is even a bigger joke than I thought. NOT like new, NO COUPLERS at all, and the model is clearly an HO model. (On...
PM sent. Jim
Not as-is. The 0-8-0 has a worm gear mounted directly to the motor shaft; the Pacific uses a coupling. The shaft on the Pacific’s motor is...
FYI: The Bachmann 4-6-0 models are currently only available in train sets… a passenger set, DC only, and a freight set with DCC & sound. Jim
Au contraire! I mentioned this model in my earlier reply: However, @MRLdave added the caution about the old, “white box” version which is a...
Just FYI… the 0-6-0 (and the 2-6-2, which is an 0-6-0 with a leading truck and trailing truck added) is NOT an easy conversion to DCC! Jim
I’ve been very happy with my Bachmann 2-6-0 and 4-6-0 locomotives. Might be tough to find the former, but the latter is still available in train...
It’s not unheard of, but typically when suspension bridges carry rails, they are also used for roadways; the railroad wasn’t the sole or even...
Touché! Yeah, I know what you originally meant; I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek with my comment. (Sincerely hope I didn’t offend.) The fact...
Ummm…. there’s a reason MT is charging a premium for their runner packs with jewel cases (vs. foam inserts.) So… right now, they kinda are!
I guess I’m the odd person out… I always mask and spray. Yes, masking is tedious, but I’ve never had good results hand-painting, and I’ve tried...
Steam switchers! Baldwin Diesels! (AS616)! THIS is what we need, not more single-railroad articulated monsters. Much as I love and appreciate...
Moose, I am not aware of either the 0-6-0 or the 2-6-2 having the Spectrum tender. Both of these models have the single truck pickup… so if you...
?? I understand that the Atlas turntable uses a Geneva mechanism which should provide indexing. Having said that, a Geneva mechanism stops...
AGREED!!! I’ve been confused on more than one occasion myself! Jim
Looks like this is for 10 of them, so the price is probably correct. Jim
It’s not at all DCC ready. The motor leads are on the front of the motor, and the motor is not isolated from the frame. Requires complete...
I have been very happy with the four BLI steam locomotives that I have... one T1, one Heavy Pacific, and two Heavy Mikados. I’m sure that with...
May I suggest also that you check to see how well it rolls without the motor? What you describe sounds suspiciously like a warped frame or...
Yep, I think you’re right... maybe zinc pest? I do remember that whatever happened affected the plastic too... Generally I am a pack rat when...
