    Got a non-running Bachmann spectrum 0-6-0 tank off Feebay . It had a smoked decoder and the rods were hitting on the crank screw heads. I removed the factory decoder and will use as DC only and bent out the rods a little. I plan on some cosmetic mods and will add a flat car ,IHC 34 foot MOW derrick car with out derrick as a switching platform with electrical pickup trucks to get it better contact. Will post photos later

    Got it running. Added weight ,because with flat car wheel wipers caused a lot of drag and it was slipping pulling this train. The cab was not seating down correctly in video ,but I have since fixed this . Got this nonrunning, had a bad decoder so now DC has the older square motor.
