Is there anywhere on this sight I can find older parts lists for N & HO loco's?? Both Kato and Atlas have access to these but I can find nothing on Bachmann also there is not place where I can look for replacement parts other than Tohmas the train!! Please help. Thanks, Normsuds.

Calculating 2% or 3% over a hundred inches is not correct. To be done correctly the grade has to be claculated according to the scale you are using. 100" of n scale track is not the same distance in scale as 100" of HO scale. You would have to calculate by simple multiplication and division the actual scales of 1:160 for N scale and 1:87 for HO Gauge then you can get a correct grade for your set.

I am looking for a Manual for an older DD40X UP locomotive I am trying to repair. Can anyone point me in the right direction?? Thanks.
