What is a safe, plastic, bachmann big haulers friendly snow that can be sprayed on the 90059 set without ruining it and that won't kill people from it's fumes? (I don't want to use anything deadly on it)

Thanks, that's what I wanted to know. I was referring to the drive mechanism.

On30gn15, I have modified my summit pass engine too. It has a royal blue body, painted boiler backhead, weathering (not that great, but good for a first try), & a working coupler for double heading locos.

Dear Mr. Bach-man,
     will the 2-4-2 steam engine be similar to a big haulers locomotive?

I occasionally have to clean my 4-6-0, because it makes a mess from the smoke fluid, but it is harmless to my bedroom/playroom's bamboo floors (which are excellent for trains). I think the bachmann smoke unit does great, since my smokes like an MTH locomotive. How come 90050 comes with an engineer and fireman, but 90082 doesn't? I would love to purchase 90058, but it sells out too often. Do you think that 90059 would be more suitable? I think $219.99 is a great deal, but 90082 is $206.89. But, for $13 more, I am getting more track in the set.
Does 90059 (White Pass & Yukon Set) have:
1. Working Back up light?
2. Metal Side rods?
3. Opening firebox?
4. Anniversary loco?
5. Track or Battery powered coaches?

I, too have a temporary layout, but you can contact me and ask me about my experience with big haulers trains and I can be asked about my experience with Bachmann On30 sets.

Remember when I bought the Summit Pass train set? Well, in two weeks I am purchasing the Pennsylvanian set and I would like to ask questions about it.
1. Is it really beautiful in person?
2. Does it have an engineer & fireman figurine with it?
3. Are the coaches track powered or Battery powered?
4. Is the green metallic or glossy?
5. Does it smoke better than the wood burning versions?
I have settled on this set because I have always loved the Pennsy Keystone and the paint schemes. So, what do you think of my choice? Is it worth it?

EDIT: I'm getting the White Pass set instead because it has more track. Or maybe the Mountaineer.

The power pack will be safe to run a single K-27 right?

Aren't Big Haulers 1:22.5?

I am considering to purchase a Green 455 K-27 this year and I was wondering if the Bachmann Large scale power controller would be safe to run the K-27 with? Is it safe to use the Bachmann large scale controller and will Big Haulers track be too small? (I figured I'll need Aristo-craft 8' curves) I just want to know. I need to know as soon as possible please.

Dear Mr. Bach-man,
can you tell me what I can do with the A-frame bridge and trestle set? I want to get those accessories and a White Christmas Set later. Thanks,
Alex Butner

How about a G-scale F3 train set? Please?
Thanks,
Alex Butner

It's the plastic white square tab that allows the exhaust sound. First, one wire broke, then the entire white tab broke completely off. What should I do to restore the exhaust sound? (Set No. 90056 Summit Pass) I hope this doesn't repeat itself when I purchase the EBT 4-6-0 to pull my EBT coaches I got for Christmas.

Today, the wire the broke and now I can't run this train anymore. I'm stuck with it, if I try to get it replaced, it could take several months for a replacement, and I can't sell it either. It is now junk and I feel horrible. The only steam locomotive in G-scale that has lived for three months and now it has to do it. I can't return it, because it has been in my possession for three months and I can't sell it because nobody would buy it. This train has let me down. I'm going to find a better train. (Sorry Bachmann) I am tired of having to fix this thing every few weeks because something works itself loose or breaks. I have had too many bad experiences with this train. (Sorry again Bachmann)

After thinking (and staring blankly at my Summit Pass), I thought about the time is right to start a floor layout with switches and more trains. I know that this is a Bachmann Trains forum, but will Piko trains and Aristo-Craft, and Lionel G-gauge battery trains run on my Bachmann track? I am just collecting and operating anything G-scale, including battery operated trains too. My layout is going along the lines of Northeastern USA with a twist of the 1950's and some other things. Also, how big does Bachmann's grass mat need to be for my layout? I'll need 15 feet by 13.5 feet (I think that's about it) and how many rolls is that and how can I make it look "Seamless" too? Also, this is an indoor layout, so what are so suggestions (simple) to make it better when I start? Also, do I use coarse or medium ballast? The layout will be scenicked but will NOT be elevated due to space restrictions. It will be a "U" shape hopefully (with sidings). Also, I'm going to use a Lionel G-Gauge Pennsylvania Flyer as a fun train with its add-on tracks to run while the layout is underway. Of course, it will run on the layout too, along with a G-gauge Hogwarts Express.
