plas man,

HO Canadian Pacific Royal Hudson (hint - check Rapido Trains Inc)

Bachmann will be more $ friendly 

Christmas greetings to The Bach Mann and all the factory workers
(please for 2019/20 model a Canadian Pacific Royal Hudson in N and HO )

I have tried to pre order one here in the UK but no joy at local shops .

could kevincasey have his loco programed by another DCC controller (club member / hobby shop or friend ) and use these setting's  with the Bachmann EZ or would the EZ  convert back to the factory default ?
thus enable him to save money on a new system ?

please Mr Bachmann a request for Canadian Pacific Royal Hudson , and corresponding rolling stock .

are Bachmann still fitting crap gears that split - to their trams/street cars ?

Bachmann (UK) still fit them to the old Graham Farish (UK) locos now made in China by Bachmann as did Graham Farish of old .

Why is everyone posting in this particular thread?

because its a really useful thread 

drifting away from Bachmann's HO Thomas for a moment - Hornby (UK) have announced that they will be discontinuing their 00 scale range of Thomas trains - looking towards the future Bachmann may do more models in HO ?

also try Bachmann ez mate knuckle coupler , sold in cards of 12 pair - or single packet from local hobby shop .

just in case you have a problem with Bachmann supplying a new de-coder Digitrains list them in stock .
edit... try and reset the decoder (cv8 No8 ?) as it may have had a 'funny' turn 

better still where can you get wheels for the replacement trucks Bachmann sell - as you will be replacing older ''Pizza'' cutter wheel's and Rapido couplers

it would be great if things was standardised - but the six pin plug/socket/chip has given way to the new next 18 type ,

I thought Bachmann sold knuckle replacements for Rapido's  , or try ones made by Red Caboose .

Jeff - Water levels in the boiler makes sense and something I hadn't considered.

way back the Uintah Railroad , had 2 big (massive) 2-6-6-2 tanks , and whilst running on a uphill bunker first run the engineer noted that there water no water visible in the sight glass - due to the long boiler - both loco's was immediately returned to the shop's to be fitted with a second water feed dome , thus curing the problem .

roundhouse fun , alternative tracks on the turntable with loco and without , drive on - table rotates to next track , drive off and continue - clever stuff remembering the DCC call up numbers , then increase the speed of the table
