On30 / Bachmann 2-4-4-2
January 10, 2017, 09:13:23 AM
I recently purchased the above locomotive but have some questions about it.
The connecting wires from the loco to the tender hang quite low and I need to get them a bit higher.
I would like some ideas on what to put on the front space above the leading truck as I do not like the look at it from that point.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

On30 / Bachmann rail buses and trailers
October 28, 2016, 05:03:32 PM
I have recently purchased a rail bus and trailer item Number 28461 Midwest Quarry and Mining and I have a couple if questions about  it.

I will be running this item in standard DC not DCC and was wondering if there is any thing I must do with regards to the decoder and the dummy plug as mentioned in the instructions.
At this time I would like to request a replacement set of gears in case I run into problems.
Is it possible for you to register this item for me as I live in Canada and am not near a Post Office to buy a USA stamp.

Thank you very much

On30 / shay with sound card
January 19, 2016, 07:02:50 AM
A few months back I asked about my Shay that has a sound card installed on it.
At the same time I purchased a new power pack because I was advised that the one I was using will not run the locomotive with out stalling but it still will not run well.
At that time I asked how to remove the sound card and I did get a reply but I seem to have lost it some where.
I would appreciate any help I can get on how to this or should I just send it to Bachmann and have them do it.

Thanks

On30 / heisler with sound
September 07, 2015, 09:37:01 AM
I recently purchased one of the above locomotives but it is giving me problems, it has a sound module and I do not want it there.
The reason is it takes too much power for both of my power packs to get it to run well, one of the power packs is brand new and i thought it would be able to handle it but it just sits on the track with the headlight on but will not move.

Any body have any thoughts on this?.

Thanks

On30 / DC conversion to DCC
May 30, 2015, 03:32:11 PM
Can some one tell me how to convert my fairly large DC ON 30 lay out to DCC.
I have been putting this off for years now and would like to know what I would have to do to convert, such as wiring, cost etc.
The main reason for doing this is I can not find a suitable power supply with a sound system for steam locomotives, and I need a new power pack as one of my 2 power packs will not run the Heisler locomotive and I have been told that is because of the sound module.

I have been checking out the Bachmann Easy Command Digital Command Control System as the price seems to be in my price range.
Thanks

On30 / faulty locomotives
March 05, 2013, 03:25:00 PM
Boy am I ever upset, yesterday I received a replacement 2-4-4 Forny that I had sent in for repair along with a pulp wood car with load.

Upon opening the box and reading the instructions I started to apply the dummy DCC plug and the 3 or more parts just fell off the side of the engine, litterally, now I would not know how to put them back on so I am again asking for a replacement loco but I should not have to pay again for shipping, not only that i could not find out where to apply the plugs, I presume they are under the tender?.

Please give this your best attention and reply

On30 / problems with Bachmann products ON 30
January 07, 2013, 10:32:13 AM
I have 2 problems as stated above, 1. A forney 2-4-4 that will not stay on the rails especailly going in reverse over switches, my track is not perfect , I noticed the trucks under the bunker is so loose it flops all over the place evn to put it back on the rails, very frustrating,
2. A pulpwood car with load, when I received it one set of wheels  had fallen out of the truck frame so I put it back  but noticed the one truck screw is stripped  and will not tighten down so the truck is very loose and will not run properly in other words it derails even on stright track.

I would appreciate your reply.

Thanks

On30 / rail cars
October 06, 2012, 10:25:11 AM
I am looking for a rail car either by Bachmann or some body else but know nothing about them, I was wondering who has the best price and can you pull any cars with them or are they just for running as a single unit, I do not see any listing on the Bachmann site for these items

On30 / power pack with sounds
January 03, 2011, 03:10:08 PM
Has anybody any idea where I might buy a power pack with sounds for my ON -30  layout?.

It does not even have to have Diesel sounds as all my locomotives are steam, and I would even buy a used one if I could find one.


Thanks
