Williams trains are designed to work with the 3-rail AC track power standard.  The internal motors are DC, but the reverse board converts the AC power to DC and also controls the direction of travel.

An additional note, starting this year we will also announce new products for the Williams line at the April TCA york meets. We will announce new products in all other scales at the NMRA convention in July.

Due to the difference in some coupler heights from different manufacturers, here is a way to make minor adjustments to the coupler height on our freight car truck.

Step 1: Remove the truck from the freight car.   There is a C clip that mounts the truck to the frame of the freight car.

Step 2 Remove the small Phillips head screw near the coupler a shown below. This will allow you to separate the coupler from the truck.





Step 3 Remove the wheelset closest to the coupler.  Slightly spread the sideframes to do this.

Step 4 At the point shown on the photo below make a slight bend, downward to lower the coupler, or upward to raise coupler. Only bend a little a time, it does not take much to change the height.


Reverse the steps to reassemble.

Dear Message Board Members,

Recent discussions have prompted us to post an "Official" Code of Conduct.  Please read and abide by these simple rules to make using this forum an enjoyable experience for everyone.  Also posted below is the initial registration agreement you approved when signing up for a user name.

This forum is provided to discuss Bachmann model trains, associated products and techniques. You may mention and discuss the products of other manufacturers, but please don't use our board for their announcements or discussions focused specifically on another manufacturer's product. Also, please refrain from criticizing other manufacturers, as they are not here to respond.

Please keep your posts friendly and on topic. Religion, sports, politics, and current events have their place, but generally not here.  As with any discussion, disagreements will occur, we ask that your responses are respectful.  Name-calling, bashing, or any other form of cyber bullying will not be tolerated.

Soliciting of products, services, or membership to organizations is not allowed. (Basically anything that is asking for payment from a forum member).  There are plenty of auction sites, and classified sites on the internet that are specially designed for this purpose, please use them. Any posts of this nature will be deleted as soon as they are discovered. Posts directing forum users such as "Check out my train for sale on ...." will also be deleted.

Avatars are allowed, but the file size is limited to 150 x 150 pixels. Improper avatars will be deleted.

Our default reverse board sequence is FORWARD - NEUTRAL - REVERSE - NEUTRAL.  Some other brands of O Gauge start in neutral.

One of our customers submitted this modification.  We have tested it and it works perfectly! It will sequence NEUTRAL - FORWARD - NEUTRAL - REVERSE after the modification is complete. Click here for modification instructions and diagram.
