Can anyone with an EMD GP40 checked to see where the traction rings are located?  ie. which wheels have the traction rings.

I have a GP50 and both rings are on the last wheels of the back trucks.
I really need to figure out which so that I can put the rings back.

Thanx

Yours is most likely a Great Northern Express, Item No.90031.  You are probably missing the rest of the train, especially the tender, where it will print out the road name "great northern".  The loco itself is a 4-6-0 steam.  Black, with some copper railing, front of the loco has 948 printed inside a red circle, while the outer circle should has "Baldwin Locomotive Works philadephia" on it.  Head light has 948 printed.  Side of loco has 948 printed.  It also has a bell.

This is a 2001 product. You are most likely missing the tender, the box, a VHS video instruction, some tracks, and a power pack.  Also the two observation passenger cars.

No MSRP is listed in the catalog, but a 2007 set of similar set up can run you about $390 to $425. (4-6-0 with tender, two observation passenger cars).

I look at the diesel carefully.  On the back four wheels there are no rings.  On the front truck, one ring on the right front wheel, one on the left back wheel.
Do I presume that the two rings that I found should be for the front truck left front wheel and right back wheel?

What is the difference between a #5 and a #6?

It it is made by Bachmann I think I can track the number down as I have quite a bit of catalogs.  Try to also give me the time of purchase (or manufacture)

Bachmann N scale diesel.

I believe so, but beware that the Bachmann decoder is very big, so it can only be used in H0 or larger scales.

I intend to turn my current EZ DCC system into a programming track when I have money to buy a good system.

how come for N scale, the buildings and assemblies are not called plasticville?

I post here because I figure this applies to all scales....what are traction rings, and where do you put them in adn how?  If I lost it, how can I replace them?
When I dissemble one of my locos, two rubber rings came out..I think they are called traction rings, but I have no idea where they are supposed to be!

Old catalog indicates that those made in Hong Kong in the mid 70s would be listed as 4666

I found an old catalog...it was listed as 5019

I bought an N-scale Fruit Growers Express.  It is an old Bachmann (Hong Kong made). However it does not have a box.

I'd like to know its catalog number..I know under the old catalog system, a 51' Steel Reefer is listed from 5461 to 5466.  I know it is neither 5462 (Pacific Fruit Express) nor 5465 (Swift), so it can be 5461, 5463, 5464, 5466.

If any of you have an old catalog (60s to 70s), would you please look it up for me?  Also if you have something similar, can you tell me what kind of box it is in?  (eg, if you have 5462, you probably have a white plastic case).

Are they all H0 scale?

Seems like I did not receive it..can you forward me a copy?

Does Bachmann or someone on the internet has an archive that contains all the information (pictures, and evolving catalog number, etc) off all the trains that had been produced since the 50s?  Esp informations containing special promotion sets.
