My tender is one from Baldwin Modern 4-4-0 with DCC and Sound. #80129
I pulled off the coal load and can see the electronics but I need to remove them for another system. So here is my problem, other websites show older tenders but no pictures or something on how to take the tender shell off this system. So what holds the tender shell on and how to remove it. 
Cheers, Darryl

I was asked how one would know who makes the sound systems that come with a Bachmann  engine or one that has been added later on. Is there a code number or something else. Inquiring minds like to know. Anyone?

How about changing the stacks on a 2-6-6-2.  I would like to put an onion/cabbage stack on the engine and before I break something, is this an easy job? Take my hand and lead me...   Help appreciated.

Hi

 I picked up a second hand 2-6-6-2 with factory DCC, factory sound and need to know if three different smoke stacks came with this loco? Also was it suppose to have a manual and some paperwork for the sound system?

Now here is a loco that will fit my needs as long as they don't have the problems of the running gears etc.  Of course I will have to wait until the beta testers have tried the engine out.  Might even buy two of these engines if the reports are good.

And then find a decent street price.

   Decided to get something to read and the Bachmann E-Z Model Railroads book might be interesting BUT I found out it uses mostly other types of track with little of the E-Z..
Really the planning of layouts with E-Z is comes up short. 

Most of the pictures throughout the book, the majority is of other types of track. 

This book sure is not worth what I paid and maybe at the best, be worth half the selling price but that's about all !

Bought a lot and I mean a lot of Bachmann stuff and other than the problems with gearing, which can be fixed, this book is the only item I would highly not recommended.

I have been looking at the EZ HO turntable and since it is DCC ready, what would be a good decoder to use ?   TOF

Someone just might have the answer?  Is it fairly easy to remove the steel rail and replace it with nickel silver rail on the the EZ roadbed ?? 

Seems like there is not too much demand for the steel rail EZ roadbed as the prices are pretty soft and I have a lot of N-S rail.

Anyone ?   Aloha TOF in Hawaii

Well after three other On30 engines had gear failure, now the rail truck went kaput.

Sure would like to have an On30 engine that will run without having a short life span.

If I can't find a good running On30 engine soon, I'll have to put everything on eBay and just run my large scale stuff. At least in large scale there are other manufactures to chose from. Actually I have a few Bachmann large scale engines and no problems with them at all except for the first batch of Shays. Why can't they get On30 right as far as engines ?

 Well nothing to report for On30 with this on line newsletter.  TOF

Sorry but I looked at couldn't find an answer in archives so here goes, how does one get the cab off the two truck shay ?  I'm at the three tabs but hate to break one of those off as they look real stiff.   HELP.....

Well another B-mann engine went T-U so instead of fixing gears again and again,  I'm getting out of On30.

Looks like eBay will be my next step for all of my empire.   I'm not taking any more chances with the still new in the box engines that I never got around to running.

I'll go back into HO where there is many choices as far as engines that run and run.

Decided to use some of the old lionel stuff and have purchased a nifty Williams set.  So I made a decision to drop On30 as I like the size better...

Looks like I'll be busy loading up eBay with all of the Bachmann On30 stuff I aquired but never ran..

Also will move over to the Williams site when everything is gone.

Cheers
