Hello all,
I've got a DCC Equipped F7 that won't respond to inputs  while I'm trying to program it.
First off i use a MRC Prodigy Advance Dcc.
my biggest problem is it won't accept a new address.. I have a EZ DCC controller but i do not want to use single numbers. I'd like to use 3-4 digit numbers but it wont change in cv 17 or 18 ( or 29 for that matter)
my other problem is it won't respond to acceleration and deceleration modes or start voltage either.

I am on the verge of just replacing the whole decoder but let's face it most decoders are expensive and when you have one that's already equipped you'd rather not go and change it.

Any thoughts?

just bought 2 HHP-8's, they run great overhead and two rail!
look great

now my question is where can i get the pantographs for them?
im looking for them for an E60CP i bought that i am rebuilding (since BMann wont re-release them again    )
thanks

So how do these beauts run? ive been eyeing these things for a while, i just want to know how the run, pull, and the features.
b/c the other loco is a Kato Dash 9-44CW either that or a R/C Helicopter......

and for those who know me on this forum im not dead, but my computer is lol

ok so im sure you guy hate the rapidos that bmann used to supply, and possibly the dummy couplers that they now supply on their new cars,
( i know i do)

so my quick fix is simple, possibly inexpensive.
i first order a few 8 packs of Kato Unimate Short Shank Couplers ($4 for 8 )

then when i get them, about a week, i put the unimate couplers together (3 pieces) and file down the lips at the ends of the coupler, and i set them aside, i take off the coupler box of the truck/s, be careful those springs are jumpy, and they are hard to find if they fly out, and i remove the coupler from said coupler box, toss set aside or w/e with those, and replace the couplers with the Unimates ( the unimates are for pilot mount, but with a file that can be modified for Bmann Coupler boxes).
i am very careful to replace the boxes b/c the coupler shaft is a tad thinner when the lips are removed so they slide back and forth easily, and basically that is a quick fix for those couplers, the cars look a lil closer together now, and the Unimate couplers will still operate (almost perfectly)

i hope this helps! also here is a basic diagram for the Unimates using the keys on my key board....

this is what the end of the Unimate couplers look like before:  -[
after you file them they should look like :   -|     

I need parts for my dash 8,
How much will a new frame/motor/trucks/gears etc
cost me?

i have an older Dash 8-40C that is needing parts replacement.

i need two trucks i motor and possibly a new light board, does anyone know how much this might cost? or should i buy a new one?
when i got her, she ran like a angel and i would like to get that back to normal.....

Please Help and thanks for your time

People you have to get one of these!
i got one today and it runs so beautifuly for a standard line i am not even joking!!, a bit noisey but a bit of lube in the motor will shut her up!!!

It maybe a UP ( UP never owned any but i dont care!! ) but it runs awesomely!!

why is it that when i try to send a PM to someone it comes up with
"The letters you typed don't match the letters that were shown in the picture."

i need help on re-motoring an older Bachmann F7 or F9 (i cant remember but i do know that it was in the Highballer Train set.)
I want to upgrade it because it is basically fried.

Hello i need some help please.

I lost a Number Board for an older Spectrum Dash 8.
the loco is a Conrail Dash 8-40C #6043
Where can i get replacements for it?

Hello all i need your help for a freind of mine.
His couplers (all of them) broke on his new Bachmann Trainset.
They are the E-Z Mate couplers,
What would be a good substitute?

Thank you for your time!

I have a Question about the truck types.
For the Modern equipment that ya'll have are you going to upgrade the trucks to roller bearing?

I will try not to be rude but I do get tired of trying to mount atlas trucks on my Bachmann Frieght cars.

BTW I Noticed that Bachmann wheelsets will fit in Atlas trucks, when i figured this out I was pleased! I love the Bachmann wheel sets b/c the look so good on Code 55, and they roll without any problems on Code 55.

Thank You for your time,

i have that highballer set with a F7a loco and i have a story to tell you guy.
so one day i was upset at this loco b\c it didnt draw enough power all of a sudden so i went through a checklist that are common Bmann probs. and i couldnt figure it out so like i said i was upset at it and i laid track up to my sink(i was sick and tired of the problems it gave me) and filled the sink up then i ran the train into the sink     it was funny....but im not finished yet, two days later it ran wonderfully...and like a jack rabbit i might add, but the tap water didnt ruin a thing!   a  future commercial for Bachmann trains.........              "Bachmann trains are Cheap and Indestructable!"         it was fun really alot of fun
