I have an older Bachmann GP35, DCC on Board, with the vertically split frame.  The loco goes about 5 or 6 feet, then stops for a couple seconds.  When it stops, the headlight goes out.  Then the loco starts up again and a couple seconds later the headlight comes back on.  This happens often going around the layout. I've reprogrammed a couple times but doesn't seem to make any difference.  Question is, is this a mechanical problem or electrical?  Maybe bad connection or bad decoder?

Two questions for you guys out there.  Is there another Bachmann loco with window glazing that will fit in a B23-7, or, Mr. Bach Man, are those parts till available?  Again with the window glazing, does the glazing for the Bachmann F7 fit the Bachmann FTs, and are they still available somewhere?  Thanks ahead for the comebacks.

I am repainting a Bachmann GP40 in L&N colors.  I got the shell with no hand rails and Bachmann shows them out of stock.  Is there another Bachmann loco that uses the same hand rails as the GP40?  Thanks.

Anybody know where I can get replacement traction tires for the Bachmann 262?  They don't list them on the parts page.

Anybody else having problems with the traction tires on the 2-6-0 or any of the other Bachmann steamers?  I ran mine around the club layout a couple times and one of the tires came off.  Are there tires available and are they as hard to put on as they look?  thanks.

Has anyone out there installed a Digitrax SDH164D in a Bachmann DCC-ready loco?  Even after reading the manual for the decoder, I'm still unsure what to do with the extra wires that come out of the "sound" end of the decoder.  I know how to install a regular DCC decoder, but haven't used this particular decoder before, and am unsure about how to wire up the sound end.  Do I need to use the wires (separate from the speaker and capacitor and the white steam sync wire) that have nothing connected to them?  Remember, this is the sound end of the decoder, not the motion/lights end.  Help.  thanks.

Anyone out there know of a motion/sound decoder that I can use in a Bachmann FA2 loco that is DCC ready?
The frame has a spot for a speaker.  I don't want to have to pull the board and install a different one just for sound.

 Does anyone have or know where I can get (or make) cleaning pads for the old Plasser EM80C track cleaning car and is it worth it to find some?

Anybody know why the Bachmann decoders sometimes won't program?  We are using Decoder Pro with a computer through a Digitrax system and are having problems programming a Bachmann 0-6-0.  A member of our club called Bachmann and he was told that the Bachmann decoder couldn't be programmed.  We are using an Easy DCC system on our layout, but the programmer isn't working.  The Decoder Pro will program anything but this 0-6-0.  Anybody else having this problem and what are you doing about it short of installing a decent decoder?

How difficult is it to change out the front headlight bulb/LED on the standard DCC on Board 4-8-4?  I installed a sound unit in the loco and it immediately blew the headlight.

Does anyone out there know if the standard Bachmann 2-6-2 Prairie with smoke unit is also DCC ready?

I have a new Bachmann GP7 with DCC on board.  I wish to repiant the loco's shell but I can't get the shell off the frame.  Anyone have any hints?
