General Discussion / L&N F3s
August 29, 2011, 01:16:30 PM
Mr BACH-MAN,
Do you think WBB will ever make some L&N F3s in the blue and yellow paint scheme of the '40s-'50s?

MAPA JCT - the insulators (rubber) just don't fit into the roof holes tight enough to hold the pantographs on very well - they seem to fall off too easily from vibration or come loose at the slightest touch. In researching this forum, I found a response from a few months back where someone suggested drilling a small hole and securing with a screw of some sort, but I will never do that! I was thinking maybe Bachmann or Williams had come up with a better type of material/design for the insulators that would fit into the roof tighter. This being said, I agree with the others that it is better for them to come off than to break off. Thanks! general

Williams by Bachmann / Loose pantographs on WBB GG1

Not a new topic but apparently an old problem - does Bachmann or anyone have any new ideas to make them more secure? I just can't bear the thought of drilling a hole in this beautiful engine!  ??? :)

I would like to see the L&N blue and yellow F3s such as pulled the Hummingbird (passenger) in the 50's.
