Hi..New post...Is there a manual one can obtain for the Bachmann series of 4-4-0m steam locomotives ?

Dear Bach-Man and everyone else out there........Just received a Bachmann 28322 4-4-0 outside frame steam locomotive and cannot get it to operate in either direction. Light does not come on either. Nice gift but no response when I put power to it. Am testing on a DC test track. Other Bachmann DCC locomotives work well on same test track. Do I have a dud or am I missing something here ? Any suggestions ? Thanks and Merry Christmas. Michael

To Alex Wittman ....The new Porters with just DCC are available from many sources including Walthers and many hobby shops in a variety of colour schemes and company names. Ask Santa to bring you one. Merry Christmas.

Has anyone on this forum assembled a JV Models  O scale curved trestle  on their layout ? Any pros or cons on this item

Thanks for the replies guys. Much appreciated.

To all the bashers out there.......Has anyone ever attempted to convert Bachmann's small On30 cabooses into short flat cars ? Be interested in any experiences or ideas you might have had or have.

Thanks dwayne for the great tips. Hoping to get a few more for some other projects down the road. Enjoy your trains. Michael

Can anyone tell me if you have ever tried to convert one of these cars to just a flat car or removed some of the sides to make it into a low side gondola?. I guess my bigger question is...Can you safely remove the sides and ends without damaging the car..One other inquiry...How does one remove the factory applied decals on these cars. Thanks in advance for any ideas or experiences you would care to share with me on my inquiries.

Thanks Bach-Man for your prompt attention to my question and the reply I was looking for.  Hope to pick some up soon.

Hi I had asked in an earlier posting if you were planning to produce more of your skeleton log cars in On30 in the three car format as you had in the past, and if you were....when might we see them on the market again. Thanks for your attention to my query.

Hi to all out there. I posted a question to the Bach Man as to when I might see their Logging Cars Set of Three back in production, but received no reply. Can anyone out there shed any light on my request . Thank you.

For the Bach-Man.....Any idea when these great cars will be back in stock. Thanks

New to On30 and am looking for all the "experts" out there as to their choice of turnouts and track for On30 operations. I notice that some of my locos die or lose some of their power on Peco insulfrog turnouts. I have seen several postings in other forums touting the Micro Engineering Code 83 track and turnouts as the best way to go. Using Atlas code 100 HO track now with Peco HO Insulfrog turnouts. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks Bach-Man. That's real good news

Question for the Bach-Man...Is Bachmann planning to produce more of the Sandy River caboose # 26777 and the caboose # 26796 ( Red in colour ). I notice they are not in stock at the moment at Walthers. Thanks
