HO / Help- 0-6-0 lights don't work
October 05, 2007, 08:10:33 AM
Hoping for some guidance.  ???

I have converted two 0-6-0 saddle tank switchers to DCC and everything works well on both DC and DCC except I have lost my forward and reverse lights.  When doing the conversion, you are required to remove the two copper jumper strips that are on the terminal strip, now I can't figure out how to rewire the lights.  The decoder has light output wires, but I can't figure out where the light wires connect.  Can anyone help me?

Thanks loads,
David  :(

General Discussion / Customer Service/Repair Department
September 20, 2007, 03:45:23 PM
I don't know if this is the place or not, but over the past couple of years I've had to deal with the repair of some locomotives, most of which was entirely my fault.  Because of the equipment still being under warrantee, the Customer Service department took care of these problems without ever a question.

;D
Recently I had a derailment of a new 4-4-0 Locomotive that rolled off the side of my layout and hit the concrete floor.  And once again, the Repair Department fixed the problem, in fact, did more than fix it, they replaced the damaged Locomotive.

I just felt that I had to say something and I didn't think 'Thank You' was enough.  How can I not continue buying and using Bachmann equipment, when their customer service is so outstanding.

HO / converting to DCC
September 07, 2007, 04:50:32 PM
Here is another question for the assembly.  I have an older 4-4-0 American and tender, and would like to know if I can resonably convert it from DC to DCC operation?  I sure would like to be able to use this locomotive on my layout.

Thanks,
David

HO / Powering turnouts
September 07, 2007, 04:43:15 PM
Howdy,

It's been a while since I've posted but I have a question that seems to have an obivious answer but,  I am using Atlas code 83 turnouts & switch machines, and Bachmann DCC power and locomotives.  Is there a source of AC power for the turnouts available, or do I need to use a seperate AC source?

Thanks for the help,
David   :)

Large / resonable grade for incline
March 26, 2007, 11:11:47 AM
 ??? Being new to G scale, and just about ready to start laying track, could someone be so kind as to tell me what a reasonable grade would be.  I mean would something like 1 inch rise for every 1 foot traveled be ok, or would that be too much?

Thank you very much,
