Hi Everyone,
I am looking for the detail parts that came with the HO Shay a few years ago,which I believe was a small package of several Tool boxes and a hose. I,ve checked out the online parts and no luck.I was hopeing to add them to my new climax.
                                                    thanks for help

Mr Bachmann your help would be appreciated. I recently tried to order replacement pads for my tank cleaning car on line from your site. It then directs me to a site called shopatron where the cleaning pads #16949 are priced at $17.00 a pair.and estimated shipping at $3.99 US. Then when I go to checkout, the shipping jumps to $18.90 US. Thats $18.90 cents shipping for a very small article.I tried to phone them,but the phone number is restricted to USA only. This amount of mailing charges will not sit right with your loyal Canadian customers. Your help would be appreciated.

  I was wondering if their was a oil bunker that would  replace the removable coal load that comes with the HO Climax (not a shay -sorry)                                 Thanks                                           

I just wanted to wish everyone Merry Christmas.

Can't wait for tomorrow because I am sure that Mrs. Santa has a package for me containing a 'GE45Tonner'

Cheers, Polekat

hi everyone.I,m trying to help a fellow club member who recently purchased a QJ 2-10-2 while in china.

Thanks

Hi, I recently converted a bachmann HO shay to Kadee #158 wisker couplers.The problem is the coupler pocket is too shallow and the centre protusion is to large for the hole in the coupler.I was able to file the coupler shank thinner and bore out the centre hole in the coupler just a hair and it works great,BUT because the coupler is metal and the shay is a split frame, you could have a short. the shay comes with plastic couplers.   so I would like convert my shay so the couplers would be insulated from the frame. the only way I can see to do this, is to remove existing coupler box by filing it off and mounting Kadee plastic coupler box. I was wondering if you have any suggestions.
                                                                       Thanks   

Just recieved my new bachmann dcc sound equipped 80 ton Shay and is it ever awesome. I tried it out last night ,and what a sweetheart it is.It runs so smooth and the sound is incredible. I bought it from micromark. I can hardley keep my hands off it, its so neat.So here,s a happy shay day to you all.

Happy Canada Day to all you model railroaders from Victoria BC and it is a beautiful sunny day here.

hi everyone. I had a accident and my shay fell on the carpet and when I put it back on the track,  i noticed the rear light housing was bent a bit and light was showing at the base of the light housing,so I wiggled it a bit and now their is no rear light. Could you explain how I could fix it.Is the bulb inside the tender or in the light housing. I definetely could use some advice. Thanks

I was wondering if Bachmann will again produce the HO Climax and if they do will it be with sound.     Thanks
