Thomas & Friends / DC to DCC Conversion On HO Engines
August 01, 2020, 01:34:20 PM
Anyone out there ever converted from DC to DCC on T&F HO engines? I have converted to full DCC layout but still have grandson's T&F engines and rolling stock. I don't want him to ruin his engines if he was to inadvertently place them on the layout. Any thoughts?

The PDF I sent earlier showing the exploded view with what I assume are parts numbers came from the Bachmann website under 'Product Reference' in the 'Parts,Service and Information' heading. It's the only thing I can find. I don't get an answer when I try calling Bachmann. I assume they are closed.

What scale are you looking for? I still have G Scale rolling stock, New In Box. Where are you located?

I was able to find this on the Bachmann website.

Thomas & Friends / Missing Parts List
April 14, 2020, 11:15:09 AM
I purchased a G Scale Toby the Tram about a year ago from my local retailer. I did take it out of the box to inspect then put it back in the box. It had been sitting on the shelf since that time. I just sold it and the person that purchased is concerned that there was no 'parts list' or 'build diagram' in the box. I don't recall seeing either. Should they have been there and if so how can I get a copy?

Thanks

HO / Bachmann PRR 2-8-2 Loud Noise In Reverse
March 31, 2020, 12:12:11 PM
Just started. Engine is about 3 months old. When running forward it sounds fine. When put into reverse there is a fairly load noise coming from the motor/gears. It almost sounds like metal grinding together. Engine has very low usage. Before I return to Bachmann I thought I'd check for possible cause. Thanks for any help you can give.

Also seemed to run a little slower than when it was first put on the layout.

Thanks for info on NO interface option. I'll just use what I have and look to upgrade to a better device. I think NCE works with a laptop.

Follow up question.

If I upgrade to the Pro Dynamis and have multiple handhelds, will each handheld show every loco or just the ones setup on a particular unit?
#69
I have a number of locos stored that I would like to put into a particular sequence. Can this be done? How?
Thanks.

Will this unit handle multiple hand-held control units or do I need to upgrade?

Also, how many locos will it reasonably handle?

I assume a power booster will allow MORE locos to be controlled.

Thomas & Friends / HO Thomas w/Sound

I have an analog Thomas engine that has a built-in 'chug' sound. Can this easily be switched off?
