Large / Train Layout
December 09, 2011, 04:15:58 PM
Sorry I have been asking so many questions, but I need help again.
I am starting a garden train
To see the layout go here:    http://www.flickr.com/photos/59688606@N03/6483354225/

1)  Does Piko fit Aristo and USA track? I know with Lionel G you have to make it work but I am not using Lionel.

2)  Given my layout size, how much power do I need to use?  Right now I have the standard Big Hauler transformer.

3)  What grade or decent and ascent can my Big Hauler 4-6-0 handle?  Needs to have a section underground in front of shed door.
    ???
   Response:  Thinker, that would mean I have to start my descent as soon as I make that turn around the back of my shed correct? I may have shoot out further distance  when I come around the front of the shed.

Is it possible to run my Bachmann Big Hauler on Lionel G scale track?  What are the differences between the two?

Has anyone used or know of computer software that can assist with the layout and design of new track?  Any information or ideas would be appreciated, Steve

Large / Another Owners Manual question
November 20, 2011, 09:50:00 PM
--Hi all, while I am not new to model railroading I have recently aquired a G scale
Bachmann Big Hauler train set through a death in the family. I believe it is a standard 45mm track, yellow/black steam locomotive and same color tender. It is in excellent condition however I noticed the headlight does not work and there appears to be a battery compartment in the tender accessible from the top. The box says it is sound capable, however I see nothing that would produce sound.
--So I am looking for the owners/user manual.  ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

Also wondering if any of these Bachamnn locomotives are weather resistant?  Actually it looks exactly like the Durango & Silverton set by Bachmann
