Yeah the tender chains can be a pain. My new Spectrum arrived with two broken links where the chains are connected to the tender frame above the sort of center of the trucks. Also, one of the hooks at the tender frame is broken. I have a same type brass inside hook I can put in place. I have some chain the same size and I have to use one link to connect the chain again. Time for the Optivisor and steady hand. I have thought of cutting the chain off completely.
It is a very nice loco and even better now that I put sound in it.

You say you put a sound decoder in?....tell us more please!
What type/how did the install go.....fess up!

Assuming this is a fairly new engine and you it may need more running in time OR! its got a problem in the driveline,first to check are the siderods,it may be a simple adjustment is needed,I had one or two that the side rod had a slight bind causing just that....a clicking noise,if they check out o.k try lubing the gearbox with a quality lubericate, Labelle's 106 plastic compatible
grease would be my choice.
And oooh yeah that baby's not gonna like any curve under 24''....with a 10 coupled engine....wider is better!!

Any chance these two locomotives will be released with DCC and sound in the future?

Thats a great looking little 4-4-0 though i think the restrictor chains on the tender trucks are a bit overdone.

Just was snooping around on ebay and there were several of the Bachmann 4-8-4s listed in grayOverland colors.
Not sure when they were made though.

In the last post it was stated that the 10 wheeler and Russian decapod 2-10-0 share the same tender.
would it then be possible to swap a 2-10-0 tender with sound to a 10 wheeler that does not thereby providing sound for the 10 wheeler
Until such time as a sound equipted 10 wheeler becomes available?
Or are there other conflicts.
