Where can I buy traction tires for my 4-6-0....I also own a 2-8-2....will it use the same size traction tires?

thanks

I bought 2-8-8-4 a couple of weeks ago...it runs great and I have added sound...my only issue is the drive linkage....I understand that proper handling of these units is critical.....I read somewhere that the boiler and tender shell are the best for picking up these units....now, I may have or may not have caused this issue....but, the unit runs fine in forward...even at a slow creep.  However, the linkage seems to bind up in reverse.  It does this every once in a while in forward at very slow speed.  I understand that it is probably the associated with the valve gear....is this something that I can address or, should I send it in a let Bachmann repair it....it isn't under warranty...

Thanks in advance for any response/advice

I am buying an EM-1 from an individual...I will want to add sound to the decoder...I understand that Bachmann makes an "add on" sound decoder for this locomotive....is that true?

Can someone explain to me what resides on the "main board" (front half) in the Bachmann 4-6-0?

I will be removing the Bachmann decoder (rear half) and will be installing a Digitrax decoder & speaker tomorrow...

Thanks

I am going to install a Digitrax SDXN 136PS in my 4-6-0.....I have removed the tender shell and have identified the wires coming to the board....my plan to remove the board completely and wire in the new decoder......is there a good reason to leave the board in the tender?  If the new decoder is a stand alone sound decoder why would I need the board? 

I am fairly new to N Scale and I am struggling with my first layout.  I have a 42"x 132" area with which to work.  I am considering a "dog bone" on one area of the layout but, I have read that some steam engines have issues with reverse loops.  It has something to do with the pickups being on the locomotive and the tender.   I own a Bachmann 4-6-0.  Has anyone had any particular issues running Bachmann Steam on reverse loops?  Thanks

I just purchased (have not received it yet) a Bachmann N 4-6-0 "Ten Wheeler".  I want to add a backup lamp to the tender.  Are there any other tender shells with backup lamps that are interchangeable with the 4-6-0 tender?  If not, can a person buy the backup lamp assembly from Bachmann and install it?
