Questions about the On30 Porter 0-4-2t Greenbrier & Big Run Lumber Co. #9 model:
   The latest ones have Greenbrier & Big Run Lumber Co. legends on the black-painted and (apparently) cast metal tank.
      Are the legends decals, or are they painted onto the tank?
      Can the legends be removed without affecting, scratching or ruining the black paint on the tank?
      If so, how?
      If a solvent, what solvent?

It's just as Mr. Bach Man says. The screw, 10145X2, is at the bottom of a deep well, not necessarily centered in the well, initially quite tight, and requires a #1 Phillips screw driver. The screw is not necessarily centered within its deep well; one must feel the screw driver's way into the screw's cross-slot. Toothpicks at the front edge of the tender between the frame and the bottom of the tank can keep the  parts spread until one wiggles the legs of the drawbar into place.

I cannot load my three images. I keep getting error messages no matter how low-res I make them.

I have a PRR streamlined K4 4-6-2, Bachmann number 85301.

It appears that the tender must be partially disassembled in order to secure the yoke that couples the locomotive to the tender. It appears that the tender's upper body must be lifted away from the tender's frame, though I do not have the confidence of certainty.

If you know how to secure the yoke to the tender, please tell me the sequence of disassembly moves needed to accomplish any necessary disassembly without doing any damage.

Thank you.

I am considering retrofitting a "Keep-Alive" capacitor to each of several Bachmann HO model steam locos. Since I run some old models, I still operate on DC, not DCC My questions:
   Do such capacitors offer the same advantage to DC-operated locos as they do to DCC-operated locos?
   Some of my locos have DCC decoders and operate on either DCC or DCC; any specific cautions?

Any helpful comments, especially from personal experience, is appreciated.

I run a Bachmann Spectrum Modern Baldwin HO 4-4-0, bought new. I run it using DC in the 0 to 12 volt range. The model seems to run just fine. Presumably, it would also run just fine, as is, on a properly operating DCC system. My questions are about the two (2) little DCC decoder electronics jumpers that are included with the model. On the parts sheet, I see the diagram that shows how to install the jumpers on the DCC decoder electronics unit.

1. Should the jumpers be installed if one operated the model on DC only?
2. If so, then what are the advantages, if any, of installing them?
3. If they should be installed for DC running, then what are the pitfalls that are avoided by having the jumpers in place?
