HO / Just purchased Digital Commander set
March 16, 2007, 11:47:06 PM
Hello all,

I just purchased the Digital Commander set. Since I have NEVER purchased my own train set before (my first Tyco set was a gift) I don't have a clue other than knowing that DCC is the way I wanted to start out.

Anyone have any suggestions with this set? Tracks that are compatible, power issues, etc?

I've read everyone stating that the EZ Commander is a good entry platform and that is where I want to start. I didn't want to spend a lot at first since the last thing I need is to have expensive scale paper weights.

I might also add,  I am not opening the box for a few months since this is mainly my 4 yr old's set, even though I know he won't be the one playing with it all of the time!  ::)

Hello, All.

First time post, long time fan.

I just acquired a used Big Hauler G Scale Radio Controlled set. Naturally, no manual was in the box.

Are there links for downloading manuals or do they need direct ordering to Bachmann support?

I'd like to run this outdoors on metal track; several websites suggested swapping out the plastic trucks with metal. Any suggestions or links on removal and installation, part numbers, reconditioning with new grease, actual take-apart-procedures, etc?

Thanks. I've also recently purchased an HO Scale Digital Commander Set that I will post in the other forum.
