On30 / Climax loose wires
August 02, 2017, 06:29:30 PM
Can someone tell me re the wiring of the pc board in a Bachmann On30 Climax. I have some wires that have come loose and need to know where they connect to on the board, they have nothing to do with the DCC decoder.
I have tried to get the info from the service dept. but they won't help me. They said to come to the forum instead.

On30 / On30 Climax not running
July 19, 2017, 02:14:48 AM
My On 30 Climax has stopped running, it's not a gear issue, and I think the electrical feed to the motor is faulty. The motor is totally silent and the track is clean, all my other model run ok but this Climax is just dead on the track. The model is way out of warranty. Can anyone offer a good place to start.

On30 / Electrical problem on early 2-6-0
June 25, 2017, 09:12:38 PM
I am restoring an early 2-6-0 which had a bad fall but I think I am missing some parts. The problem seems to be in the transfer of the power from the wheels to the motor. The loco was second hand when I got it and not running. Can someone direct me to a site that can tell me the electrical path for the power or alternatively another method.

April 16, 2017, 05:04:42 AM
Can someone tell me how to remove the pins that hold the Valve gear assembly to the middle drive wheel. Is there a special tool or a special method as my 2-6-0 had a bad fall and damaged the separator and the guides.

I noticed yesterday that the crosshead guide on the starboard side of this engine has come out. Can someone tell me what is required to reinsert it. I have the guide but cannot get the crosshead to fit in the groove.

     My 2-6-6-2 died last night. After I ran it fine yesterday I packed it back in it's box then today getting it out I found that it just sits on the track. no sound, no movement.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I could do and is this typical of this loco.
My 2-4-4-2 runs like a charm!

On30 / Problem with 2-6-6-2
November 15, 2015, 07:06:40 PM
My 2-6-6-2 is having trouble with the transferring power from the tender to the loco. When I put it on the track it makes a chuff sound but all other functions do not respond.
I have noticed that the large plug from the tender that plugs into the loco at the rear is a loose fit so could this be the problem. I have run the loco about twice on previous occasions and all was well.
Can someone help me please or should I return it to Bachmann for repair.
Thanks

On30 / On30 Rail Truck
October 04, 2010, 05:51:14 AM
I am really cheesed off as I am now on my 5th Rail Truck that I have purchased through various suppliers in both the U.S. and Australia. The main fault seems to be the slipping of or not properly meshing of the gears.
Sure I can and have sent these back to the suppliers but why should we have to. The inconvenience and cost of sending models back to the U.S. every time you buy them is getting out of hand. Bachmann should fix this problem asap. I have 7 other Spectrum locos and they are all great runners but this Rail Truck is really letting the team down .

N / DCC Ready Tenders
July 19, 2008, 12:50:52 AM
What is meant by DCC Ready Tenders? The way I read it is that by using these tenders and wiring a decoder into them you can convert any suitable Bachmann loco to DCC such as 2-6-6-2, 0-6-0- Switcher, 2-8-0 Connie or
4-8-2 Light Mountain or am I misreading the info

N / Class J 4-8-4 N&W
July 19, 2008, 12:45:04 AM
I am expecting one of these locos shortly and was hoping someone can recommend the best decoder to use. My current thoughts are the Tsunami mini and the Locsound.
