Heck guys, don't throw them wobblers in the trash. Send 'em to me!!!! I'll pay the postage.   

I will take some too. I don;t know if you guys have bad wheelsets or what but I have ZERO problems with my Bachmann wheels. Probably because I took them off the trucks and properly gauged them with a Kadee gauge tool and a little graphite in the journals. NO PROBLEMS. I does not take much to get something to perform well.

Great work Tim. VERY VERY NICE!

Yes, thats what I thought about this morning and thats what I plan on doing.

Mr. Bachmann, I just called service this morning regarding my Bachmann Big Hauler. I was told that because I have had the locomotive for over 1 year, I have to pay the charges now. If I want to get the Anniversary edition of the chassis, It's $142.00 with shipping. I was also told I could send it in to Philly for the $25 charge or something, I remember hearing $50 I don't remember. I don't know if I want to send it in because I have heavily modified it. What should I do? I would like to just have the chassis sent to me, then I would send the payment to Bachmann and I would switch it out myself. What should I do?!?!?!?!?!

Welcome aboard! 

For detail parts I highly recommend Ozark Miniatures.

(www.ozarkminiatures.com)

Sound, my first recommindation would be Phoenix (www.phoenixsound.com) or Sierra (www.soundtraxx.com) Sierra at $189 is cheaper, but for about $100 more, you can upgrade to Phoenix. Both are great quality systems.

I also recommend you join MLS (www.mylargescale.com). A great website for resources and the forums are great too.

Happy Railroading! 

Still shopping around. Can anyone give me some info on this loco? Trainworld is having a closeout on them and I would like to take advantage of it.

Any pictures?

Here's one of mine... at present, the flagship of the Slate Creek:





Have another on order. 

Oh, and Soundtraxx makes a GREAT cure to the "too silent" problem also.

That was one of my other thoughts, is it worth the Sieera Sound upgrade. I was listening to their sound for the Connie the other night and it sounds pretty good. Also, if I don't have sound installed now, would it be to much of a hassle to have be put in later?

I am looking into purchasing one of these. Can anyone give me some info on it?

Very interesting!

VERY VERY NICE!!! SOOOOOOOOO much better then the old one. Now we can find out way around and I love how everything is categorized.

My personal opinion, don't do track powered lighting on a coach. They are always flickering and if you stop at a station or something they turn off, which would never have been done on the prototype. I stay, stick with 9volt batteries and have a couple extra laying on the workbench just in case.

I also agree, I would love to swap out some trucks on my cars for the new ones.
