Hi. I was wondering how long it normally takes to receive a parts order from Bachmann. I ordered some traction tires and a tender truck three...
Well, I don't know about the real world, but it's not a myth on my layout...
Well, I think I found it. It appears there was a pretty fair amount of glue residue on the tracks left over from the blue painter's tape I...
Well, $15 to fix plus maybe $5 or less for shipping is a pretty good deal if it gets me another 18 months of use out of this loco. I had a 4-8-2...
Interesting idea, Rick. I use almost all #6 switches. I need to look to see where the slow spots are relative to the feeders and the switches. I...
The tire is split. So, I will send it. This loco also had a slight wobble from new. I never worried about it since it was such a strong puller...
Not curved, zero grade. Locos span the board from Kato 2-8-2's to Kato 4 axle diesels, to Bachmann 2-8-0's to newer Atlas 4 axle diesels. No...
Unfortunately, the track is all glued down. Of course, I only used white glue, so I could re-do it without too much trouble. However, while I...
Blocks are definitely in parallel. And I do see slow spots, not slow blocks. Sorry if that was not clear above. Basically, in a few blocks, there...
Well, that was stupid of me. It is a Bachmann Spectrum. I knew that. I don't know why I said Atlas. Sorry for the confusion. Same question,...
My smooth as silk BACHMANN 2-8-0 lost a traction tire. It has a bunch of hours on it, so I suppose that's normal wear. Are these easy to get and...
Hi. I have an N scale door sized layout made with Unitrack. It is currently wired for DC, and has 12 blocks. Each block is fed by one set of...
I have a Unitrack layout with several steam locos as well. My Bachmann 2-8-0's and Kato Mikados handle my min rad of 11" with no problem. I have...
Sure, it was actually not too hard. I use Kato Unitrack, so the track is just straight Unitrack white glued to the foam base. The concrete is...
Getting serviced... (Obviously I have a bunch more to do with this scene.)
I am part way into a small, 3 x 7 door layout in N scale. I decided to go with DC because the layout is basically 2 loops with a couple sidings....
I find that when I get vertical bumps between sections of Unitrack that there are generally three reasons. First is that I have accidentally...
I used the program for my Unitrack layout. I couldn't have layed it out on the floor first because I didn't have the pieces to do it. I liked...
I don't have that much extra, maybe 15 extra pieces, but it is really hard to read the part number or radius that is molded into the back of each...
