HO / Spectrum PRR prewar K-4
January 14, 2021, 12:28:46 AM
I have a Spectrum PRR K-4 pacific. It's an old one, purchased in 1994. Can somebody tell me how to lubricate it? I am trying to figure out how to put lubricant on the gears to quiet it down, but I can't see how to disassemble it to access the gears. Some detailed instructions would be appreciated.

Thanks

HO / HO EM-1 part 2

To Bach Man, Jonathan & Anyone Else;

Its me again. I had the EM-1 That worked on DC but not DCC. I downloaded and printed a bunch of stuff from the Bachmann website and last night I had our DCC "expert" try again. This time he succeeded in changing the locomotive address to 7629 and getting it to run on DCC. However, the sound still does not work. After working on the problem for a while he said he was stumped. He thinks that either the sound module or the speaker is defective, but he isn't sure. He suggested that the sound might be muted but he could not see how to unmute it. I plan to take the tender shell off this weekend to see if I can see an obvious problem.
Would a defective sound unit prevent the DCC from working? (The sound module is installed correctly. I checked and compared it to the diagram.) I am trying to narrow down the possibilities. Anyone have any advice?

                             Thanks

HO / HO EM-1

I just got an HO EM-1 and the sound module for it. When I tried to run it on our club layout, the DC worked, but it would not run on DCC and the sound did not work. The quick start instructions say to refer to the DCC users guide. (I am fairly new to DCC.) I did not get the users guide with my locomotive. Where can I access the Users Guide? I could not find it on the Bachmann website. If it is on the website, how, specifically, do I access it? I am trying to figure out if we did something wrong or the locomotive is defective.
