Kind of tacky response to Vic. The scale is only 12" off as far as gauge goes. Details are cheap. My 2 cents.

Hey Mud that's Barry two replies above you!

GM manufactured cars 20 miles north of us. I doubt I could have gone to the factory to get a part (admittedly cars and G scale are different but factories are often similar.) POS (point of sale) was at the dealers. Factories seldom have the Invoices, cashiers, cash, or even an office to handle such.

On the other hand, that GM factory could very well have told me where to go (not that) to get my part. Udo got no such assistance.

We were in Chengdu a year ago last November. Stayed at the great "Tibet Hotel" just around the corner from the Wenshu Monastery. We enjoyed it and the Wuhou Memorial Temple and walking along the river. We took a two day trip to Wolong to see the pandas there. The hot Sechuan food was fabulous. We also saw the Sechuan Opera which was a little touristy but fun.

I do not own the new Bachmann engine but would be willing to try and get the part(s) you need and ship them to you. It would probably be best if we communicated by e-mail. My address is: charlessuggs(at)sbcglobal.net

Be sure and substitute "@" for "(at)" in my address. Send me an e-mail and we can work out the details (exact part, shipping address and so forth.) Let's see if we can get this solved.

Where are you in China (we traveled there a year or so ago, Yunnan, Tibet, Sechwan etc.) Perhaps if you posted what parts you needed and a shipping address, someone here could help you (stupid to send parts from China to USA to China but that may be the best way.)

Many thanks, very useful upgrade!

Here are the diagrams:

Any chance of getting those diagrams as a pdf? The parts numbers are illegible in that size gif. (If you zoom on the picture to try and read the text it all is just a smear of pixels.)

And they are both pretty slick models!

Anywhere near central Oklahoma - let me know. We can get something going.

I too am interested in the K 27. Please elaborate on "and that plays both ways". The K 27 appears to be a very nice engine but not an inexpensive engine. Before I shell out my dollars I want to be informed.

What I am saying is that there are agendas on both sides driving some discussions. A grain of salt may be needed.

Jim,
The K-27 is a very good locomotive as it comes from Bachmann.

Here is a link to my GRBLOG that contains a number of topics devoted to the K-27.  You might find them of some insight.  There are also links to You Tube videos of the K-27 in operation.

Just remember that some folks have their own "agenda" that may shade their view of both Bachmann Industries and the K-27.

And that plays both ways.

Tony, I get the same glitch, if I go to "new topic" and then click "Preview" I can go back and mark as read. That fixes my other glitches as well.
