On30 / Prototype model of outside frame 4-4-0,;
August 06, 2018, 12:40:01 AM
Bachmann:
I just purchased from Ebay your outside froma
4-4-0 that the seller said was the "prototype" of the outside frame 4-4-0.  It is complently unpainted and some of the piping is still red plastic.
Could you fine out if this is the first prototype model before regular production began? Or why it was sold unpainted?
Thanks.

On30 / On30 2-6-6-2 boiler removal
November 24, 2016, 11:17:59 PM
Has anyone removed the boiler from the On30 2-6-6-2? I would live to try making a larger boiler. Either replacing it or just removing all the detail and add a wrapper to the boiler.

HO / Walk Around controller
December 06, 2014, 11:54:53 PM
Will Bachmann continue to make the DCC Walk Around controller?  It seems they are sold out and no one knows when they will be available again if ever. Will they be available soon or not ever? Thanks, Bob

HO / E-Z Command and NCE DCC connector
July 18, 2014, 05:21:29 PM
I have a Bachmann E-Z Command Walk-around Compansion Connector Panel w/wires, item #44908.  Can this connector panel be used with the NCE DCC system? Is there a difference in Bachmann and NCE connectors?
And can the Bachmann Automatic reversing unit be used with NCE?

HO / 2-10-0 into 4-8-0
July 03, 2014, 05:53:14 PM
Has anyone tried turning Bachmann's 2-10-0 into a 4-8-0 by removing the front driver and replacing the lead single axle with a two axle lead truck? 
It looks like it would be possible.

HO / EZ Command
March 22, 2014, 02:40:35 AM
I have the Bachmann EZ Command Dynamis Wireless Infrared system.  My problem is my layout is an around the wall type and with this Bachmann DCC system you have to have the handset aimed close to  the command station which is hard to do with an around the wall layout if the command station is in the middle of the room.  Anyone else have this problem?  Any ideas how to get around this problem?  Would mirrors work????
Thanks

HO / sell Bachmann sound modules
March 15, 2014, 04:03:04 AM
Why doesn't Bachmann sell their steam and diesel sound modules as separate items? Or even sell the tenders for the 4-4-0 and others sound equipped  so we can just change out the tenders for sound?  I would love to upgrade some of my Bachmann steam.  The one's I have sound great!

HO / sound decoders sold seperate
June 22, 2013, 03:01:25 PM
How about selling your sound decoders with speakers so we can add sound to older units that don't have them? I have several  Bachmann 2-8-0's and 4-4-0's that I would love to add sound to.
How about it Bach-man?  Please?

HO / sound value decoder
November 29, 2012, 12:13:48 AM
Why not sell the "sound value" decoder as a seperate item? It would sell like hotcakes!  Include a speaker and have it so it just  basicly needs to be plugged in.

August 26, 2012, 07:16:55 PM
What is the size of the sound module #44952 for the On30 2-4-4-2?  Would it fit in an Ho scale tender?  And is the speaker
included?
Thanks,

HO / driver out of quarter
May 24, 2012, 01:12:39 PM
I just purchased an HO  Bachmann 2-8-0 with sound and the main driver is out of quarter causing the drive rode on one side to not be in a straight line. 
How can this be fixed? Or do I need a whole new driver to replace it?
If I send it bach to Bachmann will it be replaced with one with sound?

HO / Please re-issue the 2-8-0 with sound!!!
April 14, 2012, 09:15:53 PM
Why hasn't Bachmann re-issued their HO 2-8-0 with DCC AND sound?  This is a great loco and
needs to be brought back with sound.
How about it, Bach-Man,  please put in a good word to re-issue  this loco with sound!
Maybe if everyone suggests it Bachmann will do it!

HO / Changing sounds on the Tsunami Digital steam decoder
February 06, 2012, 01:24:14 AM
I recently bought the Bachmann modern 4-4-0 with sound. But the bell rate is very slow and the steam blow down is extra loud.
The Spectrum Steam sound user's guide and Technical Reference instruction disk tells now to make changes.  But sounds pretty compicated.
But how do you change anything beside the channel for the decoder, from 3 to something else, using the Bachmann EZ Command system?  Can any other changes be made using that system or do I have to use another DCC system to make any technical changes descriped in the users guide?
Has anyone else made any sound changes to their DCC decoder?
There are three whistles available and I would like to see what they sound like too.
Thanks.

HO / NEW 2-6-0 disassembly and extra sounds
January 01, 2012, 05:29:37 PM
Hay Bach-Man, how do you take the boiler off the new Alco 2-6-0?  I want to add some piping and other changes without messing up the drive system?

GREAT little engine and it sounds great!

But why does your E-Z Command control not use more sounds? Besides the chuff there is only bell, two whistles, and steam blow down.  How about adding the brake squeal and the coupler crash?  There are plenty of extra buttons.
Any way these can be added to the E_Z Command system I have?
Thanks.

HO / spectrum 2-8-0 wires cut
May 26, 2007, 11:20:38 PM
Bach-man:
I recently purchased an HO Spectrum Southern  2-8-0 that someone  had cut the plugs that are used to connect the engine to the tender. Is there a wireing diagram that shows which wires from the engine connect to which wires in the tender? Don't know why someone would do this. Thanks for your help!
