Thanks Tac,
Paul Norton Is the one I was talking about, he knows his stuff and I built the electronic board from is notes.
They work just the was he said they would and I now have perfect 1/4ing chuffs.

Hay Bill;
I made two chuff boards for my K-27s and they
work great with the Aristo Revolution, Phoenix P8
and battery of your choising. Got the building diagrans
for the chuff board
imformation from, I think it was an Ottawa group.
Let me know if you want more information. The
chuff boards work great with the Bachmann
synchronised sencers in the steam chest.
I have perfect quartering chuff sound
Mudhen.

My question is for the Bachmann.
Will you ever consider doing a railway show, here in southern Ontario, Canada.
It would be great to meet you and the Yard Master, I know others would too. It would give us a face to face relationship with Bachmann, rather than just an internet one !
Please think about it. It would give a real lift to your Canadian market.
Just talking out loud

Come on Loco Bill, lets see a video of your sons K-27 and its consist !

Does anyone know were i can get an engineer ( Bob ) #5001  made by Railroad Avenue Figures for my K=27. I found Mike the fireman, but no Bob .........................Yet........ HELP, even a used one
Thanks in advance for any help

Has any one installed a synchronized smoke/chuff system with any luck . Someome out there must have !
If you did, how did you do it .
Thanks 

I would like to add smoke units to my K-27's. I run on battery power and will run the smoke unit on battery as well.
Does anyone have any suggestions on which smoke units to use and where to purchase them and cost ?
Has any one done this yet, and with any success with smoke looking realistic.
I have seen smoke on some steam engines in smaller gauges, but not in G or F scales and not very convincing.
Thanks in advance for all replies to fallow.

To the Bachman ;
I was wondering why for example, K-27 pilots are not on you page for replacement parts ? The dog house is an other example, and what else do you have, not on these pages ?
I had to go to E-bay and found out, you make replacement pilots, and purchased one because I couldn't get through on the telephone last time to your parts deptment to find out if a replacement was readially avaliable for purchase..
A replacement was needed, because a detail parl was broken opon deleivery of my 2nd K-27 and being a rivet counter. I had to fix it before it would drive me crazy.
Just asking ?
Thanks in advance to all at Backmann.

Thanks. Good to know

Just looked up Micro-Mark to check out the price you quoted, and I see $998.50, not $798.50.
Just saying.

$150.00 to $250.00 would be great, the lower price I would prefer. But what does reality say ?
I would defiantly buy a consist for my K-27's after I purchase at least 1 C-19, in the Flying Rio Grande.
I need a 2nd job to support my obsession with the Denver & Rio Grande Western, Spectrum Narrow Gauge rolling stock. There are to good !!!!!

If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost you. I have not seen a price yet. Thanks

Thanks to all for your quick responces to my post and the photo link. I learned something new tonight , I never new the prototype had blind drivers. Again, congratulations to you guys at Bachmann. You know your stuff.

If one wanted to have flanged drivers on all 8 wheels, does or will Bachmann sell the extra 4 wheels or 2 axles to drop in, replacing the blind drivers, and what will the cost be ?
My guess is, that there are two sets of blind drivers so it can be run on smaller than 20 foot dia. track without binding ?
And just an observation ........about your video....was the stack on the Bumble Bee paint job not mounted flush on the boiler base, it looks to be leaning back towards the cab @ the 2:08 minute mark of the video. Did anyone else notice that ? I usually don't notice things like that, but Backmann has made me into a rivit counter, picky toward detail. You made the monster in me for narrow gauge detail, as you are so good in  detailing you engines and rolling stock.

Does the C -19, new release from Bachmann, have the same mother board and chuff censers as the K 27.
I am thinking of purchasing one and converting to batter power.
If the chuff censers are the same, I will have to make another circuit board for the optics.
Thanks in advance
