On30 / Bachmann 4 4 0 DCC and DC
May 13, 2012, 03:14:14 PM
I have just bought a Bachmann 4 4 0 and Gas Mechanical both fitted with DCC .I have only DC and the Gas Mechanical works when I crank up the power.......However the 4 4 0 doesnt.I havent connected the two brown connectors that link Tender to Loco as I dont know how to remove firebox cover to access connectors on Loco.........Are these where the Loco gets it power from please ???.and if so how do I remove firebox cover ?
Does Loco get power direct from its own wheels.........Many thanks in advance.Does the firebox cover stay removed once brown connectors are fitted ?
PS it appears firebox cover can be removed by prying with screw driver......is this the case please ?
