This is my modification of the MP 4-6-2 Valley Flyer. I replaced the tender with a Bachmann URSA medium tender, but put the shell from the MP...
I've used Kato Mikado or Kato GS-4 traction tires to replace worn out or missing tires on a number of different locomotives. I'm not sure of the...
A Bachmann Heavy Mountain with the tender from the Bachmann EM-1 would be a pretty close match. Have fun, Mark
Gary, It is difficult to verify completely new, as in never run before, by looking at the wheels. However, depending on the make and model of...
The B-mann 2-10-2 will out pull a traction tire equipped Kato 2-8-0. The B-mann 2-10-2 also looks better than the Con-Cor 2-10-2. You are...
Remember, When you only "win" on eBay when you are willing to pay more than anyone else. Have fun, Mark
Bachmann makes them. You can buy one from MTS for about $15 or bid on one at the auction site where they usually go for less than $10. You will...
Rrjim, No problem, I didn't realize the new owner was selling the stuff for $7 per half oz. when I asked the question. Thanks, Mark

There need to be two plastic bearing blocks, one before the worm gear - that one is impossible to loose, and one after the worm gear. Both of...

1. Arnold 4-6-2 Heavy Pacific 2. Kato Heavy Mikado 3. Bachmann 4-6-0 4. Bachmann 2-8-0 5. Bachmann 2-10-2 Have fun, Mark
Kato Mikado traction tires work great on the 4-6-0 and I bet they will work on the 4-8-4. The Calumet tires are cut pieces of vinyl tube - kind...
The dual traction driver version is Kato factory made. I think they came out with it a little while after the tender power pickup version was...
Those a little things, but they will continue to bother you. Send it back and get one that is right. It is one thing to forgive Bachmann for...
