Large / Question for Loco Bill
July 02, 2019, 08:00:36 AM
Hi Bill,
I have discovered my remotored Version 3 4-6-0 B&O's front pony truck is broken and breaking electrical contacts. Somewhere, which I can't find and am hoping you know where it is, are some drawings, measurements and instructions posted on how to go about building a replacement that looks fairly similar to the new Bachmann one.
My electrical friend and I are keen to build one of these but neither of us can find the instructions or drawings. We both remember seeing them, but not where!
Thanks,
Peter A Meyer, Australia.

Large / 2-4-2T Manual/Instructions
March 23, 2019, 03:14:01 AM
Hi all,

This is my first post as l have some arthritic problems that preclude me from active participation in 7 1/4" rail operations at the Diamond Valley Railway in Eltham, Victoria, Australia where I live. I have decided I can work with G Gauge, and recently bought a new 2-4-2T for a very good price from a local dealer. Got it home and unpacked it, and to my dismay (and obviously that of many others) there was no manual or instructions of any kind.

Does anyone have any such? I have searched until I am blue in the face (matches the Version 3 B&O 4-6-0 Big Hauler set I bought) but can't find anything. I have found the instructions for the 4-6-0 but nothing for the 2-4-2T, an all-black US-style one. I don't particularly want to start running it until I get disassembly and lubing instructions to make sure all is well as I don't know how long it was on the shelf. It is a lovely quiet and smooth runner on short test however. Instructions are needed as I suffer also from butterfingeritis.

Thanks,

Pete.
