Large / Ten Wheeler Anniversary - model 81098 - ET&WNC
November 28, 2020, 04:42:44 PM
Hello

I have just taken delivery of a super ten wheeler which I believe is a V5. Its unbelievable how much improved it is over the earlier models I have seen!

Sadly, the lens on the front headlight is missing as is one of the handrails from the rear (not the side) of the cab. I can see the part numbers on the assembly sheets, but they don't appear to be available. May I ask what people have been using instead?

May I also ask if anyone can recommend a good engineer that would fit in the rather tight cab - ideally one that leans slightly out of the window.

Both the front and rear LED bulbs have gone. Does anyone know the exact type they are so I can replace? Neither have any sort of inline resister unless they are hidden in the boiler!

Finally, I would like to convert it to RC. I have read somewhere that the switch behind the smokebox door should have 3 positions. One for NMRA, one for Large Scale (whatever that means) and centre for "off". I can only feel 2 positions. Is there an easy way to convert to battery r/c?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Large / Drumhead

Hello from the UK!

I am trying to find out if anyone has available a "Union Pacific" drumhead for Big Hauler observation car.

Mine has started to melt from the filament bulb. I have now changed this to an LED. I would upload a photo, but the forum wouldn't let me. It was only 120kb so not sure what is going wrong?

I have tried Bachmann parts in the UK and America, and they both pointed me to this forum.

Thanks in advance!
