Thank you Hunt. You just saved a piece of 9" from being chopped up!

Bachmann has, to date, not provided the geometry of its track except for curved track and the track code. All HO gauge is code 100.

HO #6 Remote Crossover -- 2-3/8" between centerlines, 21-1/4" long

So if I want to use this #6 Remote Crossover on one side of a double loop, is there no 3 1/4" piece available to fill in the gap on the other side of the double loop?

I keep a big ol' magnet handy, for just such occasions. You'd be surprised at what comes out of carpet heaven. Got my retrieving magnet at harborfreight for about $15.

HO / Bachmann 0-6-0 Rod Removal

I tried to disassemble my 0-6-0 for cleaning and a lube job. One cylinder broke off, so I ordered these from Bachmann:

They have a few more rods on than the originals, but I would have to remove the old rods from the drivers first. Is that a pin holding the rods on or a screw? The head is round.
