Hi Loco Bill, I have bought a Bachmann Bumble Bee 4-6-0. On the side of the loco show 177, the tender is lettered Denver & Rio Grande Western. Is it from a set? Big bump on the under side of the loco.
Thanks, alanrr

Hi, did Bachmann have a part diagram for the streetcar/trolly? If so, where can I found it.
Thanks, alanrr

Hi, I have a Bachmann Trolly (Streetcar) with both drive gears cracked. It is 24 tooth on a 1/4" axle. I found the Northwest Shortline Gear part No. 2223-6, 24 tooth, 15.5 mm OD diameter, bore 1/4". Can someone tell me if the diameter is bottom of the tooth or top of tooth?
Thank, alanrr

Hi, I did not find the Closed Trolly in the Service and Part part of the website.
If someone that the part diagram, can you send a copy to me?
Thanks, alanrr

Hi, It is 2-6-2, not a Bachmann. I Googled and found:

Real Working Headlight
The Set Contains:
Locomotive
Tender
Freight Car
Caboose
UL Approved Power Pack
92" x 52" Oval Snap-Fit Track

It has a short somewhat, that trips overload.

Hi, George Schreyer's site on the Bachmann Railtruck said it is susceptible to surging due to the accumulated slop in the driveline. George talked to Barry's Big Trains and Barry says that he has completely reworked the driveline to eliminate the slop and therefore the surging.
Barry, can you tell me the fix?

Hi, I found an article converting a Bachmann Handcar to battery operation, in the October 1999 Garden Railways . I have converted mine and it works great, 2 AA battery last about 2 hours. I copied it to 6 PDF files. Contact me if you want a copy.

Well the easy way is to use separate power suppliers for each section of track with plastic insulting between sections. Get cheap transformers, like Bachmann starter set, for each section. Be careful that you one section set at high speed and second a very slow speed, bad for the motor.
