Good idea Bill, I will check that out. BBs can really fill in a void quickly. Thanks for the info. Tony

Chuck, will keep you guys informed of my progress...next month I will get the boiler and attach to chassis. then I work on tender. Does boiler shell come with attaching screws? Thanks, Tony

Thanks sniglet, good to know. Tony

Hi Chuck, the ebay purchase was just the loco (boiler and chassis, no tender), the Bachmann purchase was just the new chassis, no boiler yet. Loco from ebay will be used for parts unless I can repair it. Make any sense? My next Bachmann purchase will be the PRR boiler, probably next month. Following me so far? LOL. I will be building my new g scale engine piece meal, Kabeesh? LOL. When the funds are available. Hope you get what I am saying.
Tony

Hi Chuck, did not order boiler yet, but it comes with a weight? I bought a basket case from ebay, maybe there is a weight in it. Thanks for the insight. Tony

Thank You Bill, your anwsers are a big help to me. Very informative. I have an MRC ControlMaster that I will use for track power. Thanks again. Tony

Hi All, I just ordered a g scale chassis #90035, is it dc or battery? Also, in the pic it shows black wheels, is that correct? I know, dumb question. I have n, ho, on30, and now I am starting to dabble in g scale. Also, do I need to order a weight for it, and what lube would I need to use on the motor gears. Thank You, Tony

Hey Roger, not a bad idea...but I will shelve it for the time being, got some other projects to take care of. Thanks fellas, for all the help.
Tony

Hey Rich, when I lifted the shell as far as it would go, there is no pcb on top of frame...it is inside frame, all I could see was a little piece of green of the pcb. Will have to take frame apart to get to it. Nice design huh??? Maybe I could extend wires to reach tender, and install decoder there. Maybe I should put this loco on a shelf for display only. LOL
Thanks again,
Tony

Jerry, might not be a bad idea, cut wires, take shell off, buy new decoder, splice wires with heat shrink tubing and go from there. Hmmmmm...ok will try it soon.
Tony

Rich, I took a look at the TCS site and they have a 060T, and it shows the pcb on top of the frame...my pcb is inside the frame. And yes, should have been in the tender. I will try to take some photos...once again, thank you all for your help...much appreciated.
Tony

Hey Jerry, that did it...however, cannot get the entire shell off due to the decoder holding it back. The pcb is buried in the frame, so for now I will leave it alone. Thanks for your help, and Rich too.
Tony

Hi Jerry, this is a 060 with tender, the part that is holding me up is the front of the loco, don't know if I just slide it off or pull it up?? Frustrating to say the least.
Thanks
Tony

Rich, the little guy in the loco said,"you aint gettin this shell off, no siree"! LOL. Will try another day. I won't buy a decoder yet, until I can get the shell off...no electronics in tender, just weights.
Thanks
Tony

Hey Rich, Cannot get shell off, not my day LOL...I can see decoder in cab of loco. I will keep trying, but no big deal. Thanks for your help.
