Hello
May I ask if someone knows the height of the from the top of the railhead to the top of the highest point on the loco which I assume is the whistle?
Just wanting to see if it will fit through a tunne!
Thanks in advance.

Thanks very much. Yes it was used. I will get those purchased. May I ask if anyone has any suggestions for how to reduce the gap between the tender and the locomotive?

As for the engineer, I use the bachmann Engineer that comes with the loco.  I cut the legs off so that the figures arms fit to the armrest on the bottom of the cab window

Thank you very much! I will try and seek one out as sadly, one did not come with the locomotive.

I forgot to mention, I have also managed to sort the lens and LED's as well!

I am still struggling with the hand rail and engineer? If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thank you!

Thank you for your assistance in the matter. I have now managed to get it sorted!

Thanks again.

We use concrete board and it works a treat!

Hello

I have just taken delivery of a super ten wheeler which I believe is a V5. Its unbelievable how much improved it is over the earlier models I have seen!

Sadly, the lens on the front headlight is missing as is one of the handrails from the rear (not the side) of the cab. I can see the part numbers on the assembly sheets, but they don't appear to be available. May I ask what people have been using instead?

May I also ask if anyone can recommend a good engineer that would fit in the rather tight cab - ideally one that leans slightly out of the window.

Both the front and rear LED bulbs have gone. Does anyone know the exact type they are so I can replace? Neither have any sort of inline resister unless they are hidden in the boiler!

Finally, I would like to convert it to RC. I have read somewhere that the switch behind the smokebox door should have 3 positions. One for NMRA, one for Large Scale (whatever that means) and centre for "off". I can only feel 2 positions. Is there an easy way to convert to battery r/c?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hey Joe,

Right instructions, wrong forum.  Large Scale Central has Freight Sheds.

As for the drumhead, Take a trip over to www.largescalecentral.com and ask the same question.  Lots of long time folks over there and a fair chance someone will have one.  I am now all packed up to repair my home from Hurricane Michael and cannot get to my parts bin. Not sure if I have one though.

Good luck hunting.

Thanks very much for that! I will give them a try.

Hello from the UK!

I am trying to find out if anyone has available a "Union Pacific" drumhead for Big Hauler observation car.

Mine has started to melt from the filament bulb. I have now changed this to an LED. I would upload a photo, but the forum wouldn't let me. It was only 120kb so not sure what is going wrong?

I have tried Bachmann parts in the UK and America, and they both pointed me to this forum.

Thanks in advance!
