Is it as simple as disconnecting the lead from the powered rerailer at the back of the E-Z Command and plugging it instead into the Dynamis? All my switches are non-DCC wired into a switchboard with power from a dedicated transformer...

General Discussion / Drastic difference in performance between two BACHMANN HO diesel
February 20, 2014, 01:19:03 PM
I have two four locomotive consists: one is made up of four Bachmann GP-## ConRail and the other of four Bachmann Gp-## Santa Fe. All were purchased new within the span of one year. Individually and in consist the ConRail run much smoother and with a faster top speed than the Santa Fe. The ConRail are pulling 20 pieces of rolling stock while the Santa Fe are pulling eleven. What would account for the drastic difference in performance? Performance does not improve to any great degree even if I run the individual Santa Fe without any rolling stock. These are DCC run via the hardwired Bachmann EZ Command Control System.

HO / ACELA: Parts question
March 13, 2013, 09:21:30 AM
I submitted these questions to Parts@BachmannTrains.Com two or three times now but have received no reply so I thought I'd try here.
I want to add DCC & Power to my ACELA "Dummy" unit. The motivation for this is two fold: (1) I want the better rail performance that will come from having power on both ends so regardless of direction of travel I'll have one pusher and one puller. This will accommodate higher speeds when in "reverse". (2) I want the directional and ditch lights on both units to correctly indicate Fore and Aft.
Here's the cut-n-past from my most recent EMail to Parts@BachmannTrains.Com ( or is it "The Bachmann Black Hole" ? ):
>>> start
I want to convert my HO Scale ACELA "Dummy" unit to a "Powered" unit. From the
exploded diagram (H819Y-IS001) I see I need the following:
(1) H19405 PCB ASSY
(2) H19407 DRIVE SHAFT ASSY
(1) H19406 MOTOR ASSY
My question concerns the GEAR BOX ASSY which is listed as H19404 for both the
"Powered" and "Dummy" units yet in the exploded views only the "Powered" unit
shows the GEAR BOX ASSY as having gears within.
Are the GEAR BOX ASSY interchangeable between the "Power"ed and "Dummy" units?
If not then what is the correct assembly number for the "Power"ed GEAR BOX
ASSY?
Thank you in advance
