Looking for product reference diagram for BACHMANN HO ELECTRIC TRAIN EMD GP 40 DIESEL BACHMANN # 41-635-02.
Engine all of a sudden stoped working I put another engine o tracks it works. If I put the GP 40 on same track with the other engine it stops it like it shorts the track out. Any help thanks

Do yourself a big favour if you plan to make this a hobby.  Change the couplers to KaDEE or a reasonable facsimile thereof.  You will thank yourself for doing so; and I am surprised that other people on this site haven't offered this advice.

Thanks how would I go about that?

Newbe here.
I got this at a sale did not have couplers. I got Rail Chief for Xmas it has EMD GP40. This engine is a Bachmann but I think its older. It did have part of the coupler (see pic).

Thanks for any help

DO they make HO manual turnouts for EZ Track? Wife and I are starting out and want to do a small layout that need turnouts. Trying not to spend a lot of money until we see if we keep up with the hobby.
