well peach creek shops does not have it in stock and said it would be about 12-14 business days before they can get it ..if Bachmann has it in stick so... it will come from model trains n stuff

well the new/first train set should get here first...I have not played engineer in 30+ years but only until my son gets home from granny gogo's then it gets reboxed till Christmas...got to break it in and grease the wheels if you know what I mean

well hockey pucks...I was gonna order it tonight but I don't think they take pay pal so to the bank in the morning

I haven't purchased yet but it coming from Peach Creek Shops in MD. the 50949 http://www.peachcreekshops.com/genprods.php3?val=Bachmann_98&UID=2009100114534374.6.22.156

looking for more info on the Berkshire 2-8-4 Pere Marquette such as engine number of pick up wheels does it have sound / smoke and what not also what kind of warranty on all Bachmann trains (engines) Edit ; ok found the limited life time warranty...is there a way to register the product

ok thanks ...there seems to be a few different grades of hob-e-lube is the thicker one better

what kind of oil/grease is needed to service an engine also what is needed to clean the wheels/track

well mine will be here in a few days so I'm glad I saw this thread but I would have read the paper work anyway but any ideas are better than none

We are getting the painted unlettered  Berkshire Pere Marquette and painting the pass. cars in the set I got last night and taking then to Greensboro to the train store and the owner is possibly gonna put the name and numbers on them to match the polar express, and a few people on here say that the Berkshire 2-8-4 will only go through a #6 turnout no sharper, without derailing however one guy that owns one says it will go round the 18" radius curve , so the turn out are slightly limiting

I think I will stick with the nickle silver as the set I got comes with it ...I need to do more research before buying anything more ... other than rolling stock from ebay  ,the turn outs are a little expensive but will have several before long, plan on starting with 4x8...seem to be the standard starting block for ho, need to see lots of track plans to get a better idea of what I want and already know I want to make places where adding on will be simple...I build it, the wife landscapes it and my little man runs it

yes you are correct I was not too lazy to scroll down but when the page opens it has ho at the top then n gauge, I just thought that was all of the ho engines there were...will be more observant in the future

Do you have a local Hobby shop near by?  They might have it in their personal stock for when they fix engines.  I looked at the schematic of your 2-8-0 and tried to figure out a part number so I could look for it on eBay but the one I think you  lost did not have a part number.  I think.

I agree with full maxx on that the company may want to figure out why the component failed. But the customer should come first in that if you want the screw only then just send the screw.

I hope it all turns out well.

I see the parts break down but what about stuff that aint listed like the 2 8 4 Berkshire Pere Marquette

I got the Explorer New york Central new in box for $131.37 shipped...good deal huh...the wife and Little man will be gone next week thru sunday so I can you know "test it" and make sure it is all good

oh yeah I totally get it the only difference is in hvac is the switch stays energized until its time to let go like the contactor or fan/draft mtr relays reversing valve defrost cycle...

I am a total newb and don't even have a train yet but the new chassis is the way a respectable company would handle a problem like this...being into nitro monster trucks for over two years and being on the forums everyday, it is common place for a company to replace the whole unit instead of sending the screw so that way they know there is not another problem that caused the screw to fall out and they can inspect it when they get it back to help with quality control
