Good luck.

I tested this on mine last year and it worked.

Here is a link to all the gear SBS instructions I wrote.

I hope it helps.

Email sent.

I model the Yukon in 1942 so any WP&Y items would be a welcome addition. P51 thanks for the link, I did not realize that the Army kept the ET&WNC engines in the ET&WNC paint so now I can run these engines on my RR.

This may help you.

You should be able to do this. The issue with tight radius is that the track work needs to be perfect and consistently the same radius. I have pulled my v dumps around 7.5" curves.

Bill,
You can try to pry the clips off from the front side of the truck by sliding a small screwdriver up from the bottom of the truck under the clip. I have broken a few clips this way and that is why I not push the clips out from the inside of the truck. You can purchase replacement clips from the parts department so it is worth a try.

Bill,
I sent you a private message with my email address. I wrote the SBS on the RR line site so I should be able to help you.
Larry

Jon,
I sent you an email, I have some of the parts you are after.

My two were.

If you can get you hands on the replacement gears the fix is simple. Bachmann should have them.

Here is a link to the how to's for gear repairs I did.

Also look around the rest of this site there are many nice ON30 folks willing to help.

The Favorite Spot needs to buy another container load of them.

Not particularly nice or decent guys (read their bad feedback) but you can't argue with $0.01 and no reserve. 

I think about 75% of my On30 stuff is from them, and I've not had a single issue. Highly recommended.

Ray at the favorite spot is a stand up guy, I have had many dealings with him and a few defective units purchased. They stand behind the products and replace any items delivered with defects or help you get parts if you want to fix your own. I buy several items a month from them.

I have seen a few modelers use the Soundtraxx Micro-Tsunami 827010 TSU-750 RGS Galloping Goose but all of them had issues with the decoder over heating. The issue was solved by adding a brass heat sink to the decoder on top and opening the roof of the rail bus and adding a vent for air escape. 

Scotty,
The ON30 group on that site are some of the best out there and many are published. They are a really nice bunch of guys and are willing to help answer a lot of questions. I have seen many modelers join and there skill level increases greatly within a few short months due to the help they get.
I would encourage anyone to give it a try.
