I have added some styrene to the inside with some lubrication powder and it seems to have fixed it. I just put a tiny bit on both sides of the back truck. There is just now only a slight bit of tilt back and forth but it is much better than before! Thank you everyone!

I sent in the warranty card this morning. It looks okay when it is going down a straight section of track but it will lean in to the curves and then sways back to the other side. I am running this engine with around 15 freight cars on a 28 degree curve. I am going to try and cope with it until around February so it will hopefully be after the christmas rush of repairs. Thanks for your help!

Double posting for an update. I took the loco apart and could not find screws to tighten the trucks. Do I have to take the trucks off to find the screw?

I will try that tomorrow night and see if that works!! My friend had an older Spectrum diesel that had the same problem and he said the tech at his hobby shop fixed it in 3 minutes. I am hoping that he did what you mentioned. I will give an update tomorrow night!

I got an early Christmas present this year from my dad since he will be away for work over the holidays. Anyway, he got me the NKP ES44 heritage unit with sound. It is a great looking model and every thing works on it but mine does have an issue. It seems that the engine does not sit flat on the track. Meaning that the engine above the wheels will either sway to the right or left and does not stay centered. I did look online and see 2 other people with this issue, one with the Pennsy ES44 and one with the NYC SD70ACe. Can it be easily fixed? I do not want to send it in over the holidays because I figure it will take a while since model trains at least for my hobby shop sell more around this time. Thanks in advance!!

20 new called November thread 2015

Please stop this, you have said this 3 or 4 times in one topic. There is a wishlist thread if you would like to post them there.

I will give them a call! I see that prices are listed for how much engines would be to send in, what about the dynamis?

Hi all, I have been running my Dynamis DCC system ever since it came out and just this past day, it seems that the display is not turning on anymore. I have put 2 sets of fresh batteries in and nothing. I have gotten my old DC controller out for the time being. Has this happened to anyone else? I haven't had any problem until now, but I have been using rechargeable batteries for the last 2 years so I am not sure if that has anything to do with it. Any help will be great!! Thanks in advance!

Edit: Just thought of this after I typed this up. If I do have to end up sending it back, will I have to send the whole system back or just the handheld?

Hi there, glad you've taken an interest!

Yes, Thomas' face is wooden railway, as are a few others. Many I had to retrieve from different ranges, and I can list them if you'd like.

Unfortunately, I did have to buy the whole train. However, they aren't too expensive on ebay if you look around. I also collected them over a period of a few months, so the prices weren't overwhelming.

If you are preparing to do this, make sure you have means to remove the faces, they're not all easy! I use a Dremel tool with a metal-cutting disc.

Hope this helps!

-Caleb

Thank you for your response!! My next question is how do you attach the face to thomas after that? I'm wondering because I am making a dummy Thomas for my module group for a Day out with Thomas train and would like to have a CGI face.

Edit: I just saw the Battery Operated Thomas on the wikia, would that face work it looks closer than the regular wooden one

Hello, I have seen some youtube video's with the bachmann engines, though these engines have different faces. One guy on youtube is named Calebtrain and has done this with most of his engines. By the looks of thomas's face, its his wooden railway face. Is there a way I could buy those separately without having to buy the full train? I wouldn't mind taking out the moving eyes for this. Thanks in advance!!

How did you get the TT#3 face on a regular open wagon?

This happened with my Duck. He was in the unopened package and the G in GWR was half scratched and to the left of his face there were chips in the paintwork by his cheekbones. Also with my James that I got about 6 months ago, the lining is coming off on the arches and his tender. Is it quality control or not having the right materials?

They are not going to listen to any of the petitions that you make. I don't intend to be mean, but it is starting to get annoying.

I'm heading up to the World's Greatest Hobby on Tour tomorrow in my neck of the woods so maybe I'll see something interesting Thomas related...

I was there today. The only new things were the rolling stock for the G gauge line. They didn't even have the new toby on display. I was surprised that all of the big companies had small layouts. Bachmann had 3 layouts. The Thomas and Friends layout wasn't there but there was a wall of Thomas/Chuggington.No date for Arry and Bert just yet or for any new Thomas stuff yet.
