Howdy all.
Does anyone know of an engineer for the Davenport that won't require major surgery ?
Thanks for your help.

Hello all...well after several cleanings of the lube off all areas I lubed I am happy to report the Lynn is no longer a shelf queen and runs like a champ.
My question is why is the lube called conductive when it isn't ? Wonder how many others have had the same problem when using this lube(Bachmann E-Z Lube #99981) ?
Thanks to all for the help...ran the Lynn in tribute to the vets this am until it started raining.
Bud

Well, so much for that. Looks like a shelf queen. Runs and stops, runs and stops. If anyone has any ideas why I am all ears.
Thanks, Bud

 
Hello all.
Well think I got the Lynn going again. Opened it up so I could see the gears and noticed there was some grease and lubricant on the brass strips that run against all 4 wheels. Cleaned the strips and the wheels they rub against with a swab dunked in rubbing alcohol. Think maybe the heat yesterday(80 +) caused some of the grease on gears to melt and run(I did not grease the gears since owning it).
So I think all is well but still hold my breath when its running dreading the possible stop.
Thanks to all who replied to my problem.

Hello...as I said in original post my LGB Stainz runs around and around with no problem.
I'm using the Crest 10 amp #55460 power supply with Train Engineer 5473 & 5471.
A day or so ago I lubed the Lynn using Bachmann's E-Z Lube conductive contact lube on axles, etc. Could that have done something to conduotivity within the locomotive ?
Is something in the locos electronics failing ? I ran it about 2 laps around this evening and it just up and quit again. Any help will be really, really appreciated.
And there was no breaker tripping.
Thanks,
Bud

 
Hello all.. my Lynn loco has been running great ever since I rec'd it...but today all of a sudden it just stopped. I would get it running again for a little while and then it would just stop again. Very frustrating as this is my favorite locomotive. I know it's the loco as my LGB Stainz runs and runs and runs.
Any ideas why this is happening all of a sudden ?
It is only a year or less old.
Thanks for any help.

Hi...I'll try this again(I asked this back in 2012 but no response).
Has anyone mounted kadee couplers on the lil big haulers rolling stock ? And if so which kadee did you use ?
Appreciate anyone's help on this.
Thanks,Bud

 
Thanks Chuck. I just figured it might a known problem that others may have run into. But with my luck it will turn out to be peculiar just to me .
I did have a similar problem with another makers locomotive(the jerking problem) and it turned out the wires from the motor to the locomotive were not pushed in firmly into their socket.
I'm the kinda guy that likes to run my locomotives right out of the box. The only thing I did on the Lynn was grease the gears as recommended.
But...if anyone has had a like experience with their Lynn as outlined in my first post I sure would like to hear from them.
Have a good one.
Bud

Hello...failed to mention this is the new improved Lynn with metal gears, etc.
Mr Bachmann...can you help ? I'm getting views but no answers.
Thanks, Bud

 
Hello...couple questions on my new Lynn 2-4-2.
1. Smoke unit only works when backing up. Why is this ?
2. The loco runs better on Aristo PWC than it does on linear. When running on linear it sometimes has a jerking motion, but on PWC it runs smoother than slicing butter.  Anyone know why.
I very happy with this loco except for these two things.
Thanks, Bud

 
Mr. Bachmann, while running my Indy 2-6-0 today I suddenly realized I had never thanked you and Bachmann trains for my purchase of the Indy to replace my 2-4-2 that I could not get parts for.
You folks gave me a deal I could not believe or refuse.
And this loco runs great and is a beauty.
Thank you very much and have a good one.
Bud

 
Does anyone know if Kadee couplers can be installed on the Lil Big Haulers loks and rolling stock ?
If so, which Kadee G scale coupler ?

Thanks, Bud

 
Thanks Bill...right after I asked about the Indy, I found the two Columbias  on Ebay...go figure !
I also noticed I mangled my spelling in the subject line...musta been a senior moment.
Thanks,
Bud

 
Hello... does the industrial 2-6-0 negotiate 4 foot diameter curves ?
I struck out on parts for the Columbia and am thinking about getting the industrial 2-6-0.
Thanks,
Bud

Hello everybody.

I am in need of the chassis bottom with  rear wheels and 7 screws.
If anyone has one or a Columbia that I can use for parts please let me know.
Thanks, Bud
