Title: Need help with old locomotive
Post by: stenosteve on September 03, 2015, 09:18:10 PM
Im kind of new to repairing trains and cars, since its my first one.

the locomotive is a bachmann 4-6-0,  with passanger car (1)

its about 20 years old (give or take a few years)
i need to know how to change the locomotive headlight and where can i purchase a new bulb for it

i also noticed that on one of the driving wheels, the pin holding one of the coupling rod/side rod to the drive wheel is missing
and im wondering if anyone knows where to buy and how to install the pin or if i need to send it in for repair

and for the passanger car, i need to know how to replace the lights on top the car and where can i buy them , ive tried but i dont want to risk bursting the wire or breaking something, so a little help will be well appreciated.

p.s. does anyone know where i can buy large curve tracks?

Hi, Stenosteve,

Have fun with your new locomotive!   As for the track, Bachmann makes very high quality brass track in 4, 5, and 7 foot diameter curves!!

Get the best price from a local retailer or a good mail order retailer like Trainworld or RLD hobbies.
