Title: 0-6-0 to 2-6-2 conversion
Post by: hotrainlover on November 08, 2008, 03:00:26 PM
Dear Board,
I have the Bachmann Standard 0-6-0 DCC ON BOARD loco (I actually have 2).  I would like to convert 1 to a 2-6-2, or even a 0-6-2, or a variation of this...

Does anyone know the part numbers for their standard 2-6-2's that Bachmann use to sell?  If not Bachmann, what parts do you recommend that would be used?

Thanks for the help.

PS:  I would be willing to purchase any that are available on this board, if any are available.

Here is a link to Bachmann products with part numbers. The problem is the numbers are before Bachman trains went to China. Now things are different.

You might take a look at Yardbird Trains where stuff like this is done. There is also a Yardbird discussion group that is active.

Precison Scale has quite a variety of parts the might work, lead trucks and trailing trucks. They do not have the parts online. You have to buy their locomotive catalog.
Check the Bowser site.
