Hello B'man,

Is there a track plan published of the Stoney Point Demo Layout?

I saw it in the 2010 On30 Annual and I have a surplus of EZ-track and thought I would lay this out.
It looks like there are some short curves and straight sections but I cannot tell which ones.

Would like to duplicate this if I could get a listing of the track pieces.


Thanks
John

Have to say THANK YOU TO BACHMANN,

Received all requested gears today

A couple more of our members received theirs as well.

Going to take awhile to get the all installed, but it will be nice getting the yard queens back on the road.

Again

Thank You

Will have to go out an buy another engine as a thank you.

Got my first 0-4-2 with sound the other day and it ran pretty good, but had some spots that it would stall out due to loss of pickup.   

I added pickups to the trailing truck and it has improve greatly, but would like to persue the idea of adding a keep alive capacitor the the Tsuinami and looking for the way to do it.


Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
John

Hello,

need to tap a couple new holes on a shay to fit the 10597 screws.  Can anyone tell me what the size is?

thanks in advance

Had a  Gas Mech that had other issues and the thought of a battery powered critter came to mind and playing around with a 9v battery and just the motor from the GM I hooked it up and all was good for about 15 seconds then ...............smoke..............

Now I am really confused, I have another one that has a Bachmann decoder hooked straight up to the motor without going through the original board.  The decoder puts out 12-14v for the motor and yet the 9v fried the other motor.

Bach-Man    I need some clarification.  Is the smaller motor in the GM not able to handle the 9v?  If not why is the same motor working off a decoder without the benefit of the original circuit board?

Thanks for any help

John

Ok,

I fried both LED's on my 4-6-0, so now that I know that I need a resistor in line with the LEDs I need to know how to replace the LEDs, I want to use the same headlight, just need to replace the LED.

thanks
John

Looking for just On30 wheels, not wheels and trucks, just wheels.  Are they sold?


thanks
John

I must have the worst luck of all when it comes to the shays.

I have had 5 of them and everyone has had a cracked gear and waddles down the track like a goose.

So I took a chance and bought another one hoping that the issue with the gears has been resolved.

Got it today put in on my test track and same thing.  brought out the optivisor and two cracked gears. 

Less than 30 seconds of run time and two bad gears.

The rod locos run great, my most resent was the 4-6-0 and that thing is a dream. 

I bought this in hope of having at least one running shay,  but hopes are dashed.


Please fix this.

John
