Is this a Spectrum model? Does it have low profile wheels?

Thanks

The hole is tapped all the way through and the screw does peak out about one thread worth. I have put it in the rear hole it does not seem to snag the truck but I will check closer. I had the same thought about the traces on the circuit board but I was called away before I could check that. My thought was to make a styrene washer which would probably solve the screw length issue.

Thanks for your added tips.

Tom

ps The screw I used will not be needed for the 0-6-0 engine shell as the shell stays on without the screw and the screw head sticking out on the top of the stack of the 0-6-0 looks funny anyway.
I pulled the 4-8-2 tender apart again to look at the screw and happened to put the screw down beside the 0-6-0 eng shell screw. I had pulled the 0-6-0 out to look at its inards contemplating wiring on it when I went back to the 4-8-2 for another look. Just chance brought the two scews together.

For info purposes::

I have found out that the screw that holds the engine shell on the chasis of the 0-6-0 works as a replacement for the 10597 screw in this particular instance. The 0-6-0 screw is very slightly longer and the head is slightly bigger but other than that is works fine.

Charley & Skipgear

Thank you both. The info is what I was looking for.

I know my LHS has a large selection of screws and now that I know what I am looking for I will stock my parts bin.

Q1 - Is the 0-6-0 slopeback tender that is for sale in the Online Catalog a DCC ready tender &/or is it all wheel pickup?

Q2 - I have an N Scale 4-8-2 DCC on Board Mountain Steam eng. It is missing a screw that holds down the board in the tender to the tender base. The part is 10597. Does anyone know the size/specs on this screw so that I may get a replacement?

Thanks

I plan on buying one or two or 3? Would be better if they came in Canadian National colours for me.

Thanks

Great news.

I am finding that the Bachmann Spectrum steamers, recent models, I have work very well on my layout with the only minor problem of switching out the couplers.

The wheel sets work well on code 55 track.

Will the wheels be friendly to code 55 track?

Thanks
