To The Bachman.... Thank you for your reply......I have one other question. I just purchased two 2-6-6-2's  from one of your dealers on the web.....I did not know until I recieved the second identical engine that the headlight has never workedon the first one. They are both new engines ....One headlight works and the other one does not .....Is there an easy fix to this problem ......I am handy....but I do not want to start something I can not finish....

  I am the Proud owner of two identical W&L.E. 2-6-6-2's (N Scale) and I have a question for the knowlegeable out there....
What are the lubrication needs of these engines....and if so Where.??
One is about 2 weeks old and the other is brand new today.....The Brand new one is a little noisier than the older one....? any suggestions....
Also what is the normal break in time for these "Giants"....Havin a ball, in my "Fantasy Island" Empire....( Boulder Junction ) New York, circa 1940's....on the New York, Canadian border.....A nice quiet lumber town... The Giants are going to pull an 18 car log train...!!!! Ahhh to be a kid again....who says you have to grow up......I just retired and I am having more fun then when I had my first Lionel set back in the fifties. Would love any suggestions on these subjects...Thanks.....Trainman

Hi Guys....It's "Trainman" back.....Thank you for all your input.....I just purchased another Bachman 2-6-6-2...and I am scratch building a log train on flats....I am working on 9 to 12 cars...and they are coming out pretty nice.....I am anticipating my 2-6-6-2s pulling this train......The cars are as I said Scratch built...and the "lumber" is real. From as bush on my front lawn....really neat....it looks just like the real thing, especially once I weather them.....Love the site ....keep the comments coming......Good luck to all, Happy Railroading...and oh yeah....Merry Christmas , and Happy Holidays to all......Trainman

Franz......WOW...Thank you for that EXCELLENT & FAST response.....That web site is Great to say the least.......I am thrilled with my engines....They run fine with no upgrades (all flat)...and they only run over Peco switches....I had a small problem with Atlas switches so they are gone.....Thank you so much for your info.........I am having a ball with my "Fantasy Island" Empire........This site is great.......Thank you again..(Trainman)
