HO / A growling 4-8-2 light mountain
September 23, 2012, 04:09:16 AM

            I have a Spectrum light mountain that growls in forward and reverse. I have taken the loco apart and greased the worm gear and oiled the motor bearings lightly. All other oiling points have been oiled as well. This has not stopped the growling. I have three other light mountains and they run perfectly. What could I be missing here, has anyone else had this problem and solved it?.....Cookie

HO / Extra connecting wires with Vanderbilt tender
June 26, 2012, 07:17:30 AM

           I have been given a Spectrum medium length vanderbilt tender and have noticed a set of connector wires loose in the box. What are these wires for? I already bought a Vandy tender and connected it to a Consolidation, but I did not notice extra connector wires with this tender. The connector wires from the consolidation just plugged straight into the tender. I have a TCS M1 decoder installed and the capacitors disconnected and the loco runs smoothly and oh so slowly. Beautifull!!!

HO / interchangeability of Spectrum Steam tenders
June 10, 2012, 07:58:50 PM

Gidday
            Can someone tell me which tenders will interchange with which locos in the Spectrum line of steam locos. I am wanting to attach a Medium Vanderbilt with a light 4-8-2 and the same tender with a 2-8-0. If I can, I wish to avoid hard-wiring the tenders to the locos. I am just lazy I guess. I can hard wire if needs be, but if the tenders will just plug-in it will be much easier. Thanks for your time and effort....Cookie

HO / BEMF on Spectrum sound class J
June 09, 2010, 09:17:56 PM
Gidday all
                  How does one go about setting the BEMF feature on the Class J loco that has the Tsunami sound decoder onboard? I have read the instructions that are on the CD that comes with the loco but I cannot get the feature to work. All I wish to do is set the BEMF on full all the time. What CV and value should I use? Thank you in anticipation
