Hi anyone know how to do this step by step. I have done athearn blue box diesels but this one not sure of. I opened it up and I only see 2 wires  one going to the tender where it hooks up to the loco and one to the front lite. and they are black also tender frame and loco are metal. And no back lite and one side of tender wheels look to be metal and that's the right side. Thanks for any help Ron

Hi looking to do some decoder install's. On Ho scale loco's steam and diesel's. Anyone know a good Mag or book  to get that has a lot of step by step with pictures. Have 2 steam loco's that run good in DC and 2 Diesels that also run good. thanks for any help. Ron

PS they are older loco's all from around 1980

Hi I turned the wheel holder over and just have the screw just a little tight and it works a lot better. I ran it about 20 times over the turnouts and only come off the track one time. So I can live with that.
 
PS. also pulled down on the wheel holder a little after install and just have the screw just snug. Thanks Ron

I check them with the gauge and are good. And the spring is there and they pivot left and right. works good without the wheels. thanking about not putting them back on they seem to pivot to much. But if you try to do much the wheels will not pivot from side to side. Thanks Ron

HO / Alco 2-6-0 sound/F Ho scale.weight and turnouts

Got this the other day and had it on the track. And the front wheels come off the track at turnouts when going right or left. I check the wheels they are ok so was thanking maybe weight seems under weight to me. I have 4 other loco's and they don't do that and none of the rolling stock. So anyone have a idea what to do or how to add weight to it. Thanks for any help. Ron
