How about anything small, that's never been done well?0-6-0 side or saddle tank?

Am I really alone wanting this? It won't have to pull a while 15 car SP Daylight, while pushing a UP Excursion train, up a 4% grade. Maybe just a few cars, smoothly.

When Bachmann finally releases their 4-4-2 I'll bet it'll have no problems on sharp curves

Don't tease me.

I love small radius on shelves. I'm running a jewel case (2014?) 4-4-0 on an 8.5 loop, where 2 pieces are 7". Pulling 4 Athearn Overton cars, with mth couplers and metal wheels. No derailing. No issues. Running slow enough, that it's pretty quiet

If Minitrix can do a glaskasten, that does a fine job, of pulling a short train. If Fleischman can do small locos with motors in the tenders.... wait... Bachman and another small US based manufacturer did 4-4-0s, with motors in the tender.... this can be done. As to DCC.The glaskasten can fit DCC, and it's TEENY..... nice idea to have a boxcar, w DCC. Maybe sell one chassis, that fits the tops of their smallest box cars lines? That way, you wouldn't have to worry about road names and variety...people could swap the boxcar, of their choice. It would probably sell to 0-6-0 owners, with slopeback tenders, as well. Just a thought.

Hey Bmann,
With all the great units, right down to the latest 0-6-0, it's time for a great 0-4-0. Please consider this.

Thank you 🙂

Bach man?

Glad it's working out. Adding DCC is simple. If you have a small layout, you may not need to add anything. BUT, there are those that run power to every piece of track for DCC. Those who connect, every few feet and those that run DCC with the 1 or 2 connections they used for D.C. The thing is, you need however many connections that give you good signal. If you are handy with a soldering iron, adding power, as needed, isn't that hard. OTOH, dropping a few lines now, may be easier. Google DCC and you will find a lot of good reading material, to get started. Questions of layout size, how many locos you want to run at once and your interest in wiring will all play into your decisions.

That link should get you started. Any manufacturers transformer, with an AC accessory connnection, should work. They are HO instructions, but the wiring is the same.

Has any Christmas N set been released, with  the new 0-6-0 (knuckle coupler and more importantly, the hidden motor)? If so, can i find it anywhere?

Thanks M
It's a large seller, on an auction site. I've bought a bunch of Bachmann from her, as she has great prices, but it's a stock photo, and she doesn't know... I'll ask her to look at the model.

Hi
If a vendor shows as having an N scale USRA 0-6-0 New Jersey Central # 106 catalog number 50565, can I be certain it is a 2015 release, with a hidden motor and knuckle couplers? It is my favorite etailer and she "doesn't know". Is there something, on the package I can direct her to?

I'm using MRC Tech 7 dual PS. DCC is NCE starter set, but taken apart.Will try to reset, after vacation

Won't mind sending it in. I should have tested it new. I know from a thread on TB, I ordered it last March 6. I left it in the ox, hoping I would get DCC set up. Sadly, a year later DCC still disassembled.

To the point. I put it on a loop. Sound comes on. but it won't move.... Bummed. please help.
Thanks
