General Discussion / HO Product information PLEASE HELP!
December 03, 2011, 06:49:34 PM
Hello all!  :D

When i enter the product information area of the website and i got into HO there is a section known as motive power. All the locos there are $80 each but i am rather confused. With these locomotives are they dummies or the real deal? And are they DC powered?

Desperate for answers please reply in any way possible.

Hello fellow topic readers.
Recently i have been looking though the Bachmann site in the HO section and realized we have a fair set of nice trains. Usually to 0-6-0's to the 2-6-0's but has anybody ever wondered that there aren't enough locomotives.
I wrote this topic due to the fact that i have been studying on a particular Locomotive known as the C&O Baldwin M-1.

:o The C&O Baldwin M-1.* A Locomotive nicknamed 'Sacred cow' due to the fact that it was powered with built three unique coal-fired steam turbine-electric engines. This beast had a wheel arrangement of 2-C1+2-C1-2 and had 6,000-horsepower units.

Now i was looking for this locomotive as due to the fact that i have heard you can only get this in O gauge. People said that it was in HO but the brand selling it stopped or something.  :( And also this locomotive has hardly been heard of much. It looks wonderfully beautiful.

So the point of this post is to suggest trains that could be added to the Bachmann line weather steam, Diesel electric or something electric like from the Amtrak series. The C&O Baldwin M-1* as an example. Also if anybody has other interesting information please share! You can never stop learning and learning.

Also with some though of mind i was thinking of rolling stock. Like a M1 Abraham tank, bell Huey, Emergency supplies (Shipping container with medic cross), or Flak cannon that could all be placed on a flatbed.

HO / Help!

hello there just to let you know i am a new member of the forums but im not here to introduce myself.  :D

A few years ago i bought the Bachmann RAIL KING set with the GP-40 locomotive however a slight problem has came underway. Firstly the train has been victim to light damage.

I decided since superglue won't help holding the railings to the side of the train i decided of thinking of getting a new shell. Unlike other brands they places to unscrew the shell to the locomotive.

please help!

Pictures of step by step deconstruction (how to take apart) or a detailed example will do.

Thanks by the way. Over and out.
