james in fl.

thanks for the information on my bachmann northern engine.  i should have thought about the wheel guage  since other railroader have talked about it.  i checked my pilot trucks and trailing trucks and there not to nmra specs there to close togeather they need to be spread apart a little. how do i go about this.

by the way im new on here. i usually get on line and ask instead of going help site like this and you get so many answers thats confusing as heck.  my problem is sometimes i to proud to ask for help and try to figure it out myself and then i create more problems for my self and by the way ive heard all before thats what your here for  its just my nature.

by the way allow me to introduce my self  my name is vic aka (grumpy to my children and pop to my grandchildren)
i live in chattanooga,tn. and im 78 years old not 78 yrs young and im a peace time vet during the cold war and you do not owe me a thanks  save that for the vets that are coming back home. GOD BLESS THEM FOR LOOKING OUT FOR US .
