I'm converting all my locos to be controlled by an Aristocraft "Revolution" system, and my Bachmann "annie" is next in line. Does anyone have any advice they can give me on doing this? Is there any trick to disassembling this loco in order to access the wiring?

Email me and I will send you a copy of a powerpoint presentation showing how to do it.  The Annie is easy to convert, but be sure to get one with a working rear headlight rather than the woodburner which does not have one.

Dear Bill,

Not to highjack this thread, but I have a related question.  I have an Aristo TE that I want to install in the "Indy."  Is the installation similar to the Annie ?  If so, would you please send me the PP presentation ?  Thanks !

Jack,

I do not have an indy so I have no idea if it is even remotely like the Annie.

Bill, I'm just now getting to that Annie (had to deal with wife's illness earlier in the year) and I can't find the file you sent me. Would you be so kind as to resend it? My email address is

BTW, I will be using track power, not batteries.

Ray,

I am away from the place I keep that file, it will be about 10 days til I can get to it. I will try to have my son send it to me so I can send it to you sooner.  No promises tho, but I will get it to you NLT than Sep 5th or 6th. 

Glad your wife is doing better.
