I want to incorporate a reverse loop on my layout. could anyone help me out with this. I am pretty sure I have to use some sort of blocking/cab control to reverse the polarization. If the loco hits the reverse track won't the pick-ups be on two different tracks? Hope you know what I mean. Thanx

My 2-8-0 Bachmann loco needs the part where the wheel axles sit in, it is metal and it has square cut outs for the wheel nuts. Could not find it in the parts dept.

I have a Bachmann 2-8-0 steam loco. It was dropped onto floor and the "seat" where the wheel axles sit broke. I sent for a new shell but the shell does not come with this part .Any suggestions? The metal looks like it could be cast, not plastic. What would this part be called? I could not locate it in the parts dept. It is an n scale loco. Anyone knows of a good adhesive I could try?
