HO / New Sound Value old time 4-4-0 locomotives
April 28, 2021, 12:24:24 AM
I see that Bachmann is coming out soon with 2 new old time sound value 4-4-0s and at least one DCC ready.
Pictures I've seen elsewhere look really nice, and I plan on ordering at least one. I like the green one, but want to know exactly what colors it's going to be before I order.
Even better would be one that is UNDECORATED!  Why not make a simple one with Russia iron boiler,  but no lettering?

Thanks,

HO / retooled 4-4-0 disassembly
May 26, 2018, 06:01:02 PM
I have studied the parts diagrams for the "York," for both the tender and locomotive, but cannot tell how the trucks are attached to the tender or how the smokestack is attached to the boiler.
My "York" seems to be having some issues with pick-up and the wipers seem to be barely touching the axles. 
Also, the top of the spark arrester is slightly askew and I wanted to line it up, but don't want to break a $300.00 locomotive. The parts diagram actually shows the cover of the spark arrester being a separate piece, but it did NOT seem to want to move.

Any help would be appreciated.
