HO / Bachmann 0-6-0 Noisey
July 18, 2015, 02:42:48 PM
Okay, here I am again with a noisey loco. I'm assuming it is caused by the decoder. Also while it is running it will come to a stop and then start up again. Never the same place always different. I want to take it apart, but I'm a little heavy handed and I don't want to break anything, but can't figure out how to take it apart. It shows one screw at the rear under the cab, but no other screw looks like it holds the body on the frame. Anybody have any idea how to take this thing apart without breaking it?
Thanks, JT

As it says in the title. These motors make a buzzing noise from start through different speeds. These are what I think are the first DCC engines they produced. I thought about buying new motors and replacing them, but at present I'm attempting to correct the problem without replacing the motors. Anybody else have this issue and has anybody found a fix for it? Also on one motor I removed the capacitors and resisters, which made no difference whatsoever. This noise takes away from the enjoyment I usually enjoy with Bachmann engines. The engines are Conrail's 2273 & 2269 & a GP-40 3079.
Thanks. JT

HO / EZ-Command Controller output
December 22, 2014, 08:35:10 AM
I have the EZ_Command controller, actually have two. My question is what voltage and amperage these are supposed to put out? One output is 18.5 and the other is 19.4 volts. Isn't this is bit high for decoders to handle? The reason for that statement is I've burnt up two right after installing them. And yes they were done correct, as I have installed many prior to this one. Won't mention the brand as I don't think that matters, as much as the voltage/amps output of the controller. It may be the locomotive drawing to much amps, but I tend to not figure that, as I have other Loco's with the same motor and they run great. I'm looking to upgrade my controller and thinking about the Dynamis. But that's for another post later.
Thanks
