Any updates?  Site still says coming.

Hey, we've all done it. Not a big deal. You and others have helped me in the past with your knowledge, suggestions, etc. so this is some of my way to try to give back in a small way. And it turned out easier than figuring out how to post the pic. This is what forums are for, IMHO.

I also found it where I originally did on this site. If you go to the parts and info up you can see them all

But here is the link directly to it

I've got the Bachmann exploded diagrams for them on PDF and as I recall there was a wiring diagram. I'll look tomorrow and figure out how to post it. Or pm me with email and I'll send it to y'all.

I recently saw on the Bachmann site where there are animated stock cars with price as TBD. When are those expected to be available?

There was one in action just recently. It was moved from somewhere to the UP rebuild place. I don't remember if it was under its own power or just being towed. I'm sure others will chime in with the specifics. Wish I could have gone to see it moving.

The coupon I saw said parts not included. The 'Dads and Grads' one. Is there another?

I'm a little backed up on getting engines RC and sound done, so it may be later this summer before I start on the 3 truck, but I'm just trying to get handle on what to expect so any further comments will definitely appreciated.

So I'm a little confused after reading all the postings and refer postings. Is the issue where the wires go into the little white connector, which then plugs into the 3rd truck tender OR is the issue somewhere under the 2nd truck bunker where wires attach to something OR is it both?

Just got a non DCC so want to do this but the pics are missing. Any way to get the pics?

That makes sense as the climax was an undecorated version. I did not realize that but now I know for future.

Just got my new 3 truck Shay Oregon Lumber.  I think some things might be missing.  The instructions diagrams (8.5 by 11 sheets of paper) talk about both a coal and oil bunker, but all I got was the oil.  It also shows 3 different stacks but I only got one.  There was also no color brochure like I have received with all my other Spectrum engines which told about the engine, history, etc.  There is a dvd.  When I got my 'new' second generation Climax, it came with both bunkers and several smoke stacks.  I also did not get an extra drop coupler for matching up to the existing Bachmann side dump and log cars.  My original 2 truck Shay had that.  So the question is, before I even take it out of the box, what accessories should it have come with?

But check with Barry anyways.  Back around the holidays, he was doing another batch of drives.  He does not install. Worth the email.

Pretty sure all 4 pins use springs.  Missing or damaged springs is my guess.

I'm talking about this part:Model: 824XX-G821X-00B01-2 which is actually for the new 3 truck Shay but is very similar on the Climax. I had one prong that had a dead spring in it and would not make good/full contact. A drop of electrical oil and it stopped sticking and started working again. Just a suggestion.
