Title: Heisler Details Question
Post by: Udo on July 28, 2012, 11:12:12 AM
Dear all,
I have a Bachmann Spectrum Heisler "Little River Logging No 5".
This one has no air tank and air pump.
As I know, Bachmann also made some Heislers with equipment like this...
Now I want to upgrade mine.
So I need some more information.
I would appreciate, if someone has some Photos from both sides, where I can see the air tanks, the compressor and the relevant piping.
I would also like to know the length and the diameter of the air tanks (in Millimeter).

Thanks a lot for your help!

Udo

The air tanks measure 62x18.8mm - without the retaining bands.  They add another 0.5mm to the overall diameter.

See your PM for my contact details and I'll email you some images of each side.  

Best wishes

some logging lokeys used steam-jam brakes on the loco, with only the hand brakes set on the cars.  If you have access to a Precision Scale Co O/On3 parts catalog there are probably some drawings in there as to that these look like.  gj

Udo - for reasons I cannot fathom, your email address has disappeared from my computer.

Please email me again with details of the pages you need.
