I bought it used but it was in there, I thought.   I'll have to verify now.

My 2nd gen Climax, C19, K27 and 2662 all came with the pigtail board.

I'm not doing anything with Revo so would not need the board, but thanks.

No outcome yet.  I'm thinking and planning ahead.  I have a 440 and was wondering if it would actually be easier. But I'm not sure it would.

I may very well stop posting here due to this horrible verification method.

Yes.

I have not opened it up yet so not sure what to expect. 

Has anyone ever attempted putting one of the newer tender control boards (like a C19) in one of the early Spectrum 440?  I would assume all the wiring would already be there except possibly the power wiring from trucks?

Does Bachmann sell springs only?

I missed that some how. Thanks.

I don't see it on the parts but is it still possible to get one of the replacement driveshafts for a 1st gen Climax?

They pretty much gave up on large scale new stuff over a decade ago. Don't hold your breath.

Would like the 2-6-6-2 like asked recently. Really appreciate you guys preserving this for us.

Thank you very much. I got into this hobby with a Big Hauler with my young son and then moved onto the 440, Shay and have them all.

Thanks. I see that on your site.  I like to learn as much as I can before I start a job. 

In reading the original review of this engine in Garden Railways, it mentions a fan in the engine compartment above the motor.  What exactly is this fan there for?  Can't imagine needed motor cooling, but maybe? Or for smoke chuffing?  Is it always on?  I know the C-19 has one in the tender, which I assume is for circuit board cooling.  Does the K-27 also have a fan in the tender?
