Hello everyone, I recently ordered a new tether for my Bachmann Sound Value Alco 2-6-0. I made the mistake of taking the existing tether with the broken wires off the soundtraxx board without noting where each wire goes on the board. The wires attach with simple clips no soldering needed. I need to find out what pin each wire in the tether harness goes to or find out what the pin outs are on the locomotive socket. I have contacted Bachmann directly both by telephone and by email and have not received any reply whatsoever by phone or email and have found this to be extremely unsatisfactory to say the least. May be someone on here will know the pin outs. Thank you.

I have a Digital DB150 Empire Builder DCC system. I can not program the locomotive number for the address of any of my Bachmann locomotives. Nothing works. I am positive that I am following the digitrax procedure correctly. All my Bachmann locomotives have the DCC on board decoder installed by Bachmann at the factory. Does anyone know what has to be done as an extra in order to program these locomotives on my system. Thanks for your help.

Hi everyone,
I have A Bachmann Spectrum HO Scale 2-6-6-2 and want to install a TCS dcc decoder in it. Does anyone know which decoder to get to run it in dcc? I have checked the TCS website and the 2-6-6-2 isn't listed on there. I have seen that it takes a NCE
D13SRP decoder, but I would rather install a TCS as I like their decoders better. Thanks.

Hi everyone, does anyone know what the wheel diameter is for the HO scale Bachmann 2-6-2 Prairie? I want to get some traction wheels for this locomotive and need the wheel diameter to order them. I have tried 4 times now to put bull frog snot on the drivers without any such luck unless someone else has a better idea. Thanks everyone.

Hello Everyone,
I recently purchased a used Williams Southern Railway O gauge 4-6-2 at an auction. Upon getting my prize home, I found that it needed parts. I contacted Bachmann Parts Department to attempt to obtain the parts needed. They told me that the parts were not available and suggested I post it here. I am looking for the eccentric crank pin and fastener and the gear connecting rod foot pin and fastener. Does anyone know where I can obtain these parts or how to fix this locomotive if the parts are not available. Thanks.

I can kick myself several times now for not getting one or picking one up on ebay when I saw them so few that was on there. Anyway, I want to know more about the Bachmann Southern Railway 2-6-0s. Are they so new that I am not seeing that many or are they discontinued and hard to find? Is Bachmann making more or not. Are they going to offer new roads? What is the Bachmann part number so I can do a seach on Google and try to locate one. So many 2-6-0 questions. Thanks. 

Hi, I have the bachmann ez track 28" radius and larger curves on my layout. I want to add a larger outside track.  What turnout do I need to get in order to do that? I dont think the standard 18" turnouts will work or will they? If they do not which turnout do I need to get. I have HO scale on a dc layout. Thanks.

Hi everyone, I want to know which sound module do I purchase if I want to install sound in a dcc equipped C&O K-4 2-8-4 I recently purchased. The web site does not list the 2-8-4 so I dont know if I need the Medium steam or the Large steam. Thanks for all the help! :-)

I am interested in starting a layout using ez track since I need wide sweeping curves in order to operate my larger articulated locomotives. Im starting out with a simple elongated oval with straights on the sides and at the ends which I may want to replace at a later date with switches to expand it. how many pieces do I need to accomplish this task.
