I added some weight to the tender, but it still does not pull as well as it should.  And the pick-up could be improved (no electrical pick-up with the tender wheels).  And putting the front trucks back on was a bear -- far more difficult then it should have been; that's probably why they changed the pilot truck attachment on the newer 4-6-2.  Still, its an enjoyable steamer from way back in the 1990s.

HOSeeker was the place to go.  Found the plans for my older Spectrum 4-6-2.
Thanks Greatly for this and for that shelf tip.

Thanks.  The engine did a face plant off the shelf.  I've glued the bell, headlight, etc back in place but need directions to put the front truck back on.  Looks like I need to take pretty much everything apart in order to do that.  So, would be easier if I had plans to help guide the way.

Thanks, but my Spectrum 4-6-2 is an older model and the plans aren't in the list (just the newer 4-6-2).  Is there an archive of old plans?

I lost the plans for my old Bachmann Spectrum Pennsy 4-6-2.  Where can I find plans for the engine -- need to take it apart and these would help? Thanks
