I am in need of 2 connector panels.  Is there anyone that has these panels and are not going to use them?    I will pay shipping.... 
The cables are not necessary.

Contact me off list, if you need to.   

Thanks for the help!

Dear Board,
I have used the Cat 5 cables that came with the Walk-around companion, with no problems.  Is it OK to use Cat 6 cables in place of them?  They both use the same connectors.  Thanks for the help.

Dear All,
I now have a great DCC converted Plus engine.  The only problem, is that the couplers REALLY droop.  I cannot find a Bachmann drawing as to if there should be a piece under the coupler.  There is a screw, and that is all that holds the coupler.  On other units, (this is my only Plus unit)  there is usually a square with a hole to cover the whole coupler, therefore keeping the coupler up.  If anyone has a Plus unit, could you look under the coupler for me.  I bought this unit from a LHS that is no longer open, so cannot research here.  Thanks for the help.

Dear All,
I can not find the GP-35 unit diagram info on this site.  I want to convert it to DCC, but need a visual picture.  Did Bachmann build the GP-40's and GP-35's the same?

Does anyone have a source for a DCC decoder plug in pin, with the wires still attached?
The reason I ask, I cut the plug in off too close to reuse the connector...  (Now that I need it for the project!)  Of course I would not have had this problem, IF I had opened the tender, (FIRST) and seen that the loco was decoder ready!!   

Mr. Bachmann,
Are these engines DCC ready with a plug?

Does anyone have these HO scale decals (from MR or Walthers?)?  I need one set for a Loco project.   Thanks for the help!!

Bob,
Do you have any pictures of cars that you have added power to?  Pictures of any of your powered projects would be great!!

I know this is a Bachmann Site.  I have used this site for many years, and have MANY Bachmann products...  This being said....

I need a small spring that connects the brass clip to the motor....  I have  loco that runs erratically, (has since I bought it).   I have found that it is missing the small spring that is UNDER the brass clip in a small hole.  I tried a Pen spring, but it is too big around.  Any ideas would be helpful...

As always...
Thanks for the help

I have tried to contact other members on this board, but I always get this response?.....

    The following error or errors occurred while posting this message:

Any Ideas?

Dear Board,
I purchased a Cab Forward front to convert a loco.  The 4 wheel truck that came in the kit has (1) 33" wheel set, and (1) wheel set that has bigger wheels.  They are plastic, and I planned on replacing with metal ones.  The problem is that I cannot find the "Bigger" set on Walthers, and do not really know what size it is.  How do I measure the wheels?  Do I measure the actual wheel, including flanges; with a caliper?  Or the the wheel, NOT including the flange?

Bob,
Have you completed the tank engine conversion?

If there are any progress pictures?   I would like to see any, that you do have.  I think you do great work, and I have learned a lot.

Mr. Bachmann,
What are the connections for the Bachmann decoder scolors?  Orange for M+, Black for Motor -, .........

I want to hard wire one of your decoders, but have always used Digitrax.  I looked in Products, for a reference sheet, but did not find a breakdown....

Thanks for the help.

Dear Board,
I have heard of using skewers to uncouple trains.  I tried, but it seems that I have missed something....  I think the skewers need to be sanded to a particular angle, or something, for this to work.

Has others tried this?  My track is complete, scenery is finished,and do not want to tear it up to use magnets. 

Thanks for the help!!

Dear Mr. Bachmann,
The "cover" material on my bachmann decoder is off of the decoder.  Is this heat shrink by chance?  I re-covered my decoder with black heat shrink tubing.  I hope this will not make the unit overheat.  I did not want to  wrap the decoder in electrical tape, though.
Thanks,
Lee

Yampa Bob,
I just found a image on ebay that you may want to look at.  I saved the image and can send it to you, if you want....

Dear Board,
I have the Bachmann Overland Limited engine, which is Standard line.  Is this the same as the Niagra as the install at TCS site?  I am looking for installation pictures.  Thanksgiving break is a good time to spend on this....

Thanks for the help!!

Dear Board,
I know that I have seen the instructions for installing a decoder, (and pictures) for this engine.  I just cannot find it.  I thought about taking the DCC-ON-Board one apart, (that I also own)  to see how Bachmann did it, but this might void the warranty....
Does anyone know where the these instructions are?
Thanks for the help.

Dear Mr. B.
I recently inquired about the price for leading and trailing trucks for the 0-6-0.  I went through the Order Parts section on this site.  I DID receive parts in the mail yesterday.  The only problem, is that I asked for INFORMATION, and then would have decided to purchase the items; or not.  I have sent payment for the items, as I may have made the mistake...  My biggest concern, is that I was charged $5.00 shipping, when the price marked on the box was $1.68!!!

Dear Board,
I have 30 engines that have no problem running on my layout.  BUT, my 0-6-0's ALL stop on my #6 customline turnout.  They run through the switch unless the engine is going slow..  Then nothing.  This is the only #6 on my pike.  My Spectrum 0-6-0t will stop on the switch, no matter what speed.

Any suggestions...  I would rather not replace the switch with an #4, or a#8, as I will have to redo all the tracks and scenery in the area.
Thanks,
Lee
