Well I was looking @ some vids of logging operations and noticed that some have a Barnhart (?) type loader /crane!

So I was HHHMMMMMMMMMMM  
Bachmann could make one , they allready have that skidder/donkey , and  as far as I know the only crane anyone makes is USAT   not the same!
So they would fill the need!
I would bye one!  
Just thinking out loud!

Stan Ames brought his new CLIMAX to our meeting today. 
This unit had the DDC and Sound unit from the factory.
I used a Zimo unit to run it.
Axel Tilman from "Train-li-usa "brought the "ZIMO "
Slow speed was awsome , forward and backwords no diff! 
Light on or off, bell, whistles  a short whistle or long!
Oh Ya there is some brake squeel when you slow & stop! 
Sound was good.
Nice unit! 
I'm hoping that Bachmann sells just the trucks so I can get my older unit running again ( cover doesn't fit tight any more so piston slips or will not turn)
Sorry no pics!
Sean

I'm happy for Irvin and his next life!! ( not having to go to work)    
So we all hope you find someone to fill those shoes!!  
He will be missed!
Good luck Irvin!!
Sean

Has any one used JBWeld to repair a broken corner on the cover plate to the truck?
One of my corners broke off so I used JBWeld to fabricate a new corner.
I will have to redrill the holes.
Looks like it might hold up.   
Sean

My back drive shaft has broken. It came off the shaft that comes off the motor shaft. It broke into 3 or 4 pieces.   
Do you think that parts are still available?

Shouldn't all of the exploded views be in this area?
So if you ask this type of question "see post"
http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/board/index.php/topic,6922.0.html
anyone could refer you to that area?
I thought that is why that area is there?
Sean

  Nice to see the place changing!!   
  The new F.A.Q.S. area should be well recieved!!   
  Are we going to read about proven fixes?   
  Is this the place you're going to have the links to the exploded views?
