Anyone?

I am thinking of using just the bogies of the  Ho/OO Bachmann 70 ton Climax for an On30 project and was wondering if anyone has one they could measure up for me, please?

I am after the measurement, in Millimeters, between the axle boxes on a bogie if at all possible. I have a feeling the bogies could be just be what I am after to start thinking about a new project. I do realise I'd need to buy them from Bachmann but that is ok.

Thank you very much in advance to anyone who could be of assistance.

Thank you Yardmaster. I might have to run it without sound for a while.

I am in the same situation as you  ? Can anyone point us in the right direction, please? Thanks

Right, Hunt. Thanks for that. So EZ Command is only good for default, as supplied, dcc. Ah, well. 

I am a complete illiterate when it comes to dcc. I don't understand what a CV is.

I want to change the whistle sounds on one of my Heislers to make them easier to recognise.

How does one do this with an EZ Command controller? What buttons do I need to push? I have looked and looked on the instruction sheets  but I can't find how to do this.

or can I do this?

TIA

Man !! What a lot of rigma-roll !!  I'm so glad I've stuck with dc.

Yay. Finally got all the gears that I needed to fix things up. Took months and months and even more months of waiting, whinging and writing but I finally got there.

Got the 2 sets of Heisler trucks I ordered in the mail yesterday. Good work there. Hopefully the gears will arrive soon.

Finally. I have a responce. Looks like I'll be sent my gears ( sans Davenport ) after all. Better late than never.

Should I laugh or cry !!

Thanks Chris for the offer.

I'll wait a bit longer and see what happens. But, yes, it is getting beyond  the joke stage. I'm lucky I don't live and breath On30 or else this would have me tearing my hair out. I'll wait another week , send yet another email to Bachmann and let you all know what happens.

Living on the other side of the planet has its draw backs at times, ( but I wouldn't live anywhere else ).

Mind you, I did order 2 sets of Heisler trucks and had my emails answered almost straight away,  so Bachmann isn't all tht bad, eh? Just hope I get them before xmas !!  ( or perhaps send my emails to the 'parts' department. At least I know someone is answering )

I live in New Zealand.

after an other week of hoping parts will arrive and  still another email has gone unanswered. It's happened again. NOTHING.

I must be at sainthood now Mr Bach Man.

Oh, well. I could always go fishing to wile away the time.

I even have sent another email to them a week ago. But again. Nothing answered or parts recieved.

Another month has passed and still, you guessed it : nothing!!!
