HO / DCC Chuggington
May 01, 2013, 01:27:17 AM
Hello,
This is probably not the question that the average user can just answer, but maybe a staff member at Bachmann could tell me?
How easy would it be to convert the Bachmann Chuggers to DCC? Is there enough void space in the engine to fit a decoder?

Thanks

HO / Turntable Shorts out Switches
December 06, 2012, 08:13:12 PM
Hi,
I have the HO Scale Tidmouth Sheds roundhouse with turntable on a DCC layout. We have the mainline split from one track into five sidings and then link onto the turntable. The track operates fine when it's on the centre track, but when it turns to another track it causes a short circut. We installed a Digitrax AR1 and it still did the same thing. We then replaced the Powerloc switch that was shorting out with an Atlas switch. There was no more short circut, but all the Powerloc switches started buzzing.

Could somebody help me solve this problem? Is it the turntable or Powerloc switches?

Thanks.

Williams by Bachmann / Williams on Fastrak
November 24, 2012, 08:58:32 PM
Hi there,
I bought a Williams by Bachmann Baldwin Sharknose today in O scale and took it home to my Fastrak layout. It slows down on the 0-36 curves and when pulling the two dummy units it sometimes stops altogether.

Also, the light on my 80 watt Lionel Controller blinks on and off when it goes at a certain speed or pulls weight. If it blinks for a while, the train stops altogether. Can somebody help me with these problems?

Thanks.
