I have been working on a K-27 (Installing radio control). It appears that this engine has the dreaded counterweight problem. I can not find them as replacement parts. Are they no longer available? Are they the same as the ones on the 2-8-0?

Thanks for the link to the parts.
Bachmann reps told me the link is no longer available because the server was compromised, unfortunately efforts to recover the instructions were not successful. There were some useful hints in a post in the last few weeks. If any of the members downloaded the photos showing how to fix the counterweights please post them for the forum.
Thanks Bill
