Have you checked Bachmann parts? They may have them in stock.

The cars will look better and track better,but you will need fairly generous curves on your layout for reliable operation.I would suggest checking the KaDee website to see exactly what they have available. Are the trucks plastic? If they are you can use a truck tuner(cleans out any obstructions where the wheels ride in the trucks.That will immediately improve the rolling ability of the cars.If you want to replace the wheel sets there are several companies that make one side insulated wheel sets.

HO / B23-7 + DCC
July 13, 2017, 04:02:20 PM
Hi I stole a B23-7.(paid $10.00 for it and a Athearn caboose.It runs incredfibly smooth and weighs a bunch.I think it must be fairly new as it has 8 wheel drive,brass flywheels.There is a PC board on top of the weight which is the reason for this post.

Does anybody know how much work is needed to put DCC on this beast? Any help is much appreciated.
