HO / Re: convert GP-40 Diesel to DCC
February 05, 2012, 01:35:19 PM
Thank you all for your help.  I did take the GP-40 apart and the motor does seem to be isolated froim the frame.  There separate positive and negative wires running to the motor from the wheels on the trucks.  The parts list does show two different motors for the GP-40.  (One with resistors and one without resistors)  The motor in my diesel does not appear to have any  resistors attached.  Can I use this motor or must it be changed to make the DCC conversion?  Thanks again for everyones help          TRIF

Try going to wholesaletrains.com   I have bought a lot of Bachmann  trains and equipment from them at really good prices, usually a little more than 1/2 the price in the catalog. Good luck Trif

HO / trucks for starter set cars
December 19, 2011, 11:33:33 PM
I have just restarted  getting into model railroading after about 40 years.  I purchased a couple of starter sets of Bachmann trains and am now expanding my layout and purchaseing more rolling stock.  I got some of the silver series cars and found they roll better with the metal wheeled trucks.  I would like to put these trucks on my starter set cars but cannot find them in the Bachmann parts catalog or web sight.  Do the Kdee trucks fit the Bachmann cars.  Need all the help I can get. Thanks Trif
