Large / Annie Rubber Hose
April 11, 2021, 06:55:07 PM
The parts store doesn't show it.  I need some of the rubber hose that connects the trim pipes under the cab of Annie's.  Mine ripped when I was trying to take apart the engine.  What is left is too short to span the gap.  I'm holding the pipe up with a ziptie so it doesn't get caught in the drivers.  I am guessing this is standard hose of some sort.  Anyone know of a good source for this stuff?

Large / Annie potentiometer wiring
January 30, 2021, 01:43:37 PM
The Pot in my Annie tender has 5 lugs with wires connected.  I am familiar with three lug pots.  What are the other two side lugs for?  I cannot find any wiring diagrams for 5 lug pots.
I ripped out the circuit board as I am installing a Zimo decoder with sound.  While the Zimo can control the volume thru programming variables and inputs, it is cumbersome with my NCE controller.  It would be a lot easier to just hook the pot to the speaker.  I just want to know if I need to use the side lugs for anything?
Thanks

Large / Bachmann 2-6-2?
January 25, 2021, 11:11:32 PM
Did Bachmann ever make a 2-6-2 in large scale using the same tender as the 4-6-0? 
A local restaurant is having issues with their ceiling train jumping the track.  I'm trying to identify the engine to see if maybe there are known issues with it running on tight radius track or something else.  The restaurant was busy at the time so I couldn't really do anything. 
This engine is black with copper colored boiler in UP livery.

Large / Annie Maroon color?
January 23, 2021, 08:07:51 PM
I'm relettering a SPC Annie and accidentally wore through the paint on the engine cab.  Didn't realize it was painted as the color on the tender  is part of the plastic.  Has anyone been able to find a match to the maroon color?  So far, I haven't found one with the testors, humbrol or revelle paints I've looked at.  Not sure if this color is specific to this road name.  It looks similar to the other engines with this color but I have never put them side by side.  If you have matched the color to the other engines, and maybe even the cars, please let me know.
Thanks.

Large / New Pilot in gen 5 Annie?
January 13, 2021, 12:16:58 AM
Searched but didn't see this question. 
Will the new style gen 6 pilot easily mount into an older 5th gen Annie chassis?
If so, how does it mount?  Does it just screw on the bottom of the chassis?
Does the new style still need weights added above the axles to improve tracking and reduce derailments?
