I'm trying to rebuild an older 0-6-0 switcher ( slope back tender) model number ( item 50601 )
On each on the axles - there is a nylon part with square holes in reach end - where the  wheels insert. The Nylon part  insulates the DC+ ( engineers side ) from DC- Fireman's side   keeping the wheels isolated.. Two of the nylon parts are only cylindrical - and the center nylon spacer also has the drive gear.. My nylon parts are cracked and the loco won't hold wheel width spacing.. If I can buy the parts - Great.. Alternate is super glue to hold the wheels onto the spacers .. any other thoughts on adhesive??...Any other thoughts.. .. Thinking of drilling and pinning too
I know I could just buy another.. but I'm a retired engineer with too much time on my hands.. Thanks John

I have a new Bachman 4-4-0 - and i can't change the decoder.. My club uses NCE power pro.. tried to change to # 26.. and decoder would not accept - had to toggle " reset to factory to get back to # 3
So how do I accomplish the  decoder re-address??   Thanks

I have the nice 4-4-0 running fine - with address # 3 ( default).. While at the club, we tried to change to Address 26  using NCE power pro - both " on the main" and on a programming track
Loco would not accept - and we had to toggle CV8 ( i believe) to reset to factory..
Can anyons suggest the correct procedure for changing??

HO / Re: HELP with conversion to DCC

Message to EJSEIDER.. I too have the 0-6-0 with the PC board H507X#PCB02.. Did you ever get a helpful answer - on wiring?  Did you just use the standard decoder wiring to the motor ( Orange and Gray wire leads ) and did your 0-6-0 run OK.. I was going to abandon the smoke - and possibly the light - But I just wanted to get the Motor to run OK  Thanks  Copperline Foreman - John

I have a Bachman 0-6-0 engine ( with Smoke) which was manufactured in 2010 I believe.. It runs on DC OK.. But I am converting to DCC.. Does anyone know the actual motor voltage? - There is a Printed circuit board - H507X#PCB02 rev A.. which has two wire wound resistors.. Anyway - I discarded the smoke unit - and Isolated the Neon Headlamp.. The Power pick ups - Engineer and Fireman side are Good.. 
Motor is Isolated from the frame - so all seems OK to put in a chip.. BUT before I do that - I just wanted a general discusssion on the motor voltage and the PCB - interaction

Thanks - Copperline Foreman ( John )
