I will have to tell Sly that about the motor unless he sees this post again. He really didn't want to change the motor out in it but I still don't understand the thing about my engine. It is relatively new.

I have something to say --- Seach for a Gordon set on the internet (Mainly Amozon). Bachmann has made a Gordon set! Go to this link- http://www.amazon.com/Bachmann-Trains-Gordons-Express-Ready/dp/B000EHNJ6G

I hooked mine up exactly like it said and actually ran it until I tried to program it to another number. The loco that I had is a Life-Like Teakettle and is fairly new. What decoder would you suggest for the Lionel and mine?

When Bachmann does have diesels with sound, figure $200.00 minimum if they go with the Tsunami.

Rich

We all know they will go with Tsunami because that is all thay have ever used.

You can get the replacement part.

I have a video of a set running at the WGH train-show in Atlanta. My channel name is WTierce1 if you want to see it. And by the way Hon2.5 is Hon30 (They run on N scale track), I know because I have a set but not steam.

I have a MRC decoder and it is pretty large, by the way--- How large is the tender?

Thanks for the suggestions, I was thinking about taking back the decoder after I get it fixed and just get a three pack of Bachmann Hard wire decoders of maybe a different digitrax decoder.

Jim-
I actually ran the locomotive with the decoder in it but when I programed it to a different number, it fried litterally. I am using the DH123.

I have something to say NEVER get a digitrax decoder. Me and one of my friends bought some and when we tried to run his train with the decoder, it burned up and I burnt one of mine up when I reprogrammed it.

This is a link to my video of my own personal Climax with sound. http://www.youtube.com/user/wtierce1?feature=mhum#p/a/u/2/_qgYifrfwMY If you have any questions just post them.

Sorry but the Berk does not have a firebox feature.

From what I have heard, it is not the best controler option out there. If I were you, I would consider the Digitraxx Zypher controler. I got it for christmas and it is a very good option unless you only want wireless control but you can still add more controlers to it including wireless. By the way if you were to I would go with the radio frequency amd not the infared (That is the main problem with the Dynamis).

There is a vid of it on youtube called 3 truck climax. (I recorded it.) You can see it run and here me in the background.

This is a video of the new three truck Climax-

Special thanks to the Bach-Mann for running it for me!
