On30 / On30 2-8-0
August 04, 2016, 01:55:54 AM
I have one of the Bachmann On30 2-8-0 locos (which I think has been discontinued) but maybe someone who has one can help me. This one draws about .65 Amps at 12 volts, stalled, upside down on the bench. It has already fried one decoder & I'm leery about replacing it. This engine has been used on a display layout & I think has been run on carpet; the side rods & wheels had a lot of hair & fuzz in them & it was a pain to get out. Can anyone out there measure how many amps their 2-8-0 draws & let me know? It would save me a lot of guesswork.  Thank you--     Bob Battles

HO / HO Climax & Shay Headlights
January 22, 2008, 02:59:37 AM
Greetings!

I'm a new member & would like to replace the silly yellow LED headlights in the Shay & Climax with some white ones or else 1.5V bulbs. Can someone please tell me how they come apart, how you get the LED out, without wrecking the headlight?  THANKS!
