Jerry,

Thanks for the info on the project, and I did understnad that you had no choice but to use the Dr. Mikes to rework the bolsters.   The truck sides on the 20 foot cars are a great starting point for your project!!  Your project is really ambitious and when finished most certainly will be quite a sight to see pulled by one of those critters.  Thanks for sharing the info!!

Hi All,

At 13.50 a bottle plus shipping, Dr. Mikes isn't exactly cheap for somthing with low shelf life.  If you repair something with glue it is still repaired, and not original.   

For the price of two bottles you could almost buy two Bachmann freight cars on Ebay and have lots of spare parts and keep your good rolling stock original. 

If I ever have a critical need to repair delrin I will certainly use Dr Mike's CA and I appreciate the info from the Bach man, and Jerry.   Jerry maybe you could post pictures of your 32mm cars.  Sounds neat!!

I have seen the tank cars at two shops in Denver

Martin,

You may want to call service at Bachmann as they will try to find uou the parts you need if they happen to have some on hand.  They have helped me several times and charge a flat rate of shipping of $5 fr most light items.  in one case they went overboard to find a tiny part for me.

Not sure what you are trying to fix, but for body parts like freight car sides, cab sides or other molded plastic parts I have successfully used several kinds of liquid cement for plastics, or regular tube plastic cement. They both work well.

I have also used ACC Super glue on parts that have a tight fit, and will not be under stress.  Freight car and passenger car trucks and handrails of all kinds do not glue welland are best replaced.

You may want to aquire a spare car or two just to use for parts.  I have a box car, and a tank cars which I got cheap at a swap meet just for parts.  I also have an annie I got cheap on Ebay which was sold as for parts. 

In my own little way I have become my own parts supplier.

Hope this helps, and don't get discouraged!!

kybaugh,

I agree you have the 2007 Wondetland Flyer.  Great buy on the Trolly.

Have fun,

Did you pull the whole smokebox off the front?  or just open the little door on the front of the smokebox? 

If you opened the door, you should see two switches inside one is the smoke on/off.

If you pulled off the entire front of the smokebox you should have seen a bunch of wires which are behind the switches.

Good Luck

Perhaps Brian hasn't seen your question yet so I will respond.   The Bachmann locomotive you have has only the chuffing sound, but no whistle.

I am glad you got everything working OK

Many thanks to Mathew for the great illustrations, and correct spelling, I always seem to screw up the spelling.


Kybaugh,  There were many, but he fun of collecting all of them might be an interesting challenge.   I believe Wade Colyer has all of them.  Over the past year every single Christmas item appeared on EBay and except for a very few at very reasonable prices.

The Scrooge Collieries hopper car, The Mrs. Claus Eggnog tank car and the Polar Express Set, and the Dillards Trolly are the hardest to get, and might be considered rare at least on Ebay. 

If you decide to go for it, Happy Hunting!!

Dear Grumpy,

The Anniversary Edition 4-6-0 were sold with either the very detailed Walcherts Valve gear, or the Modified simplified Stephenson Valve Gear, but both were Anniversary 4-6-0's with the metal siderods and highly detailed bodies.  The number 10 Annies have the detailed Walshearts valve gear,  while the latest Annie #14 in the set has the simplified Stevenson valve gear.  Both are metal and both are Annies. 

The link belows shows an actual set box 90059 with Loco #14 an Annie with the simplified Stephenson Valve gear.

The one below shows the closeup of the #14 Annie striped from the set 90059.

The text shows this is an Annie.   

If you can send me a good full side photo of yours I will verify what it is. Please include the Bachmann item number from the original box.

There are many variation to the 4-6-0 some have the two window cab while others have the three window cab. 

I get a headache at times trying to figure it all out!!

Have a great Christmas.

Looks like they posted in one line or two line entries.    Hope you can figure out most of it.   The info provided is for the personal use of readers of this website.  I have copy righted the info above.  Please refer any who want the info to this website entry.    Please contact me if you wish to reprint the info elsewhere.   

Thanks

Hi All,

Here is my best shot,   This is my list of everything I know of that Bachmann made in Large Scale with a Christmas Theme.  It does not include the individual parts of the 2007 Northern Lights listed sepeerately.


It will take pouring through the data to understand the way some things are tied together.    I am not sure how my listing will print out on the forum.   Input wiil be for one line at a time per item, but it often shows up on the forum as a three line entry per item.

I am only human and so there may well be errors,  Please let me know of any errors readers might find, so that I can correct the entries.

Looks like most entries wiil be three lines starting with the Bachmann Item Number, Reporting Marks, Intro Year The $ amount is the original MSRP.  There will be various notes when applicable.    Some items have no number or two digits, because they they were only in a set

Bachmann made two North Star Express sets one is not a Christmas.

There are three 90047 Wonderland Flyer some variations exist.   

There are many other variations to numerous to mention.

I am open to questions on the above,  but please study the list in detail before asking.   Having said that I still believe there are no dumb questions!

Milk and cookies are out and I have to go to bed so Santa will come!  It will be my grandaughter's first!!!

Enjoy your Christmas

I have a list of all the Christmas Sets, but don't have them with me right now.  I will try to get it online in the next day or two..

grumpy, which WPY set do you have?  The new WPY set has the Annie(90059) The number on the cab in this set is 14.  The original older WPY set (90095)had the older Big Hauler Standard 4-6-0 with the number 10.  I'm guessing you have the older set loco.  You can check the Bachmann Catalog and you will see the new set has the Annie.

Happy railroading!!!

Sorry to hear the bad news, you could still file a claim with the carrier.

If it your first train purchase, it is certainly discouraging.  If you have another engine hopefully you can use it to pull the Wonderland Flyer Cars.

Hi guys, We finally found a way to post the video it is in a seperate post I just put up.
