has anybody tried mounting the shell from an older (non sound) Bachmann 4-8-2 Light Mountain onto the new sound Light Mountain chassis? I have a custom decorated shell from an older version which I want to mount on to the latest sound version.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Hello Bach Man,
please advise why you are not selling these N scale plastic storage boxes as a separate item.  If an engine storage box gets cracked or is otherwise damaged, there is no way to replace it at the moment.  It would be nice to be able to replace it.

EM-1 decoder question:

does anybody know the supported CV's on the new decoder that Bachmann is using in the EM-1.
It appears that CV 5 (-max voltage i.e top speed-) can now be programmed which was not available on the older decoders.
Bachmann still shows the old decoder in their on-line literature.

Any news when the new 2-6-0's will be available?
They were scheduled to be here in September

Just received an order of Bachmann trucks via mail.

The charge on the invoice was $23.75 for Priority Mail International shipping to Canada, it was however shipped with First Class International for $2.53 ?

I find that a little too steep for handling charges.

It also did not weigh 1.20 lbs as stated on the invoice but only 5.2 oz.

Has anybody else had simmilar experience
I have e-mailed Bachmann for an explanation.

Does anybody know if this new engine comes with traction tire?
