Can anyone tell me how to take the shell off of this Bachmann, GP 30, dcc loco? I've done a search & can't find anything that tells me exactly how to do it. Thanks, John

I have a fairly new Bachmann GP 30 dcc that will just sit ont the track and spin it's wheels. The first time this happened I cleaned the wheels and it worked fine. Now it's doing it again and no amount of cleaning works. Any ideas as to what the problem might be?

I have a spectrum 4-8-2 in which I installed a Bachmann decoder. All was well for a few days. Then one day I tried to run it and got no response. Tried a different address and, it ran. It switched its address by itself. Then I tried to reprogram it back to the original address, no go. Next day I tried again and it worked. Today I tried to run it again and, it just sat there humming. Then it gradually started moving but, it does not respond well to the throttle and has no high speed at all. I checked the tender and decoder connections but, everything looks ok. I'm new to dcc. but, will an engine change its address all by itself? I have 5 other Bachmann engines and they all run fine. I'd appreciate any help with this. P.S.: It switched its address twice.

I have a new spectrum, dcc, 2-8-0 loco that is making a crackling sound when run. It dosen't do it in reverse. Any ideas as to what the problem might be?

I have a Spectrum heavy mt. 4-8-2 dcc ready loco with the large coal tender &, I would like to know about adding a decoder- what one & where & how do I install it. I have absolutely no idea about these things as you can probably tell. I'm in need of your expert guidance.

Mr. Bach Man, where can I get the little guy that sits inside the cab of my loco? Some how I lost him & I'd really like to get another. Thanks, John

I'm wondering if these are lighted & do they have a detailed (seats) interior?
