smoke is inside a decoder..... and if you let it out... you're screwed...

my 2-8-0's will pull at least 10 cars up my 4% grade and while double heading them easily 16 cars, i dont know if you could say it will pull double, but its a longer train than prototypically would happens.

take the screw off under the cab holding the ashpan on. you'll find them.

If you're so busy this time of year from the holiday purchases and repair issues, how about delaying your 3 week inventory that adds to your issue of responding to customer and answering the phone?

Why is it so hard to actually get service? I'm curious. I have spent a small fortune on Bachmann on30 items. 9 locomotives and 32 cars....... And if I had to go through what some of these folks do, I'd publicly loose it

I hate to be the one that mentions this..... But, everytime someone calls or emails customer service, it's the same problem, and the same type of answer; holidays too busy, inventory too busy, must've slipped through the cracks.... Etc.

Why?

Bunch of carpet fuzz wrapped up in a loco?

i used the factory one for a big, then i made my own real wood load. looks so much better and was just a quick evening to whip it out.

Halfway through December and one week until the apocalypse.....  Are these going to be available soon?

Did all of mine with hot glue.

It was causing a short.

Yes

double side tape would work easily and cheaply...
a light bead of white glue, caulking, or a hot glue gun would also do it... my entire layout is glued down.. 14' x 22'

Most modern decoders are dual mode.  Check the net or manual for your model decoder and verify

I will buy one each c-19 and k-27!!!
