hello mr bachmann..... as an afterthought to my request for more spectrum trolley's a new run of steinway birney's would use the same color scheme as the third ave trolley, except be lettered as steinway lines......    thanks   again....don

hi mr.bachmann...... i have a number of both the birney's and peter witt trolly's. all run and look great. please consider producing another run or perhaps another trolly altogether.   thanks

mr bachmann.... any plans for more spectrum trolley's

thanks len.... i have the spectrum birney, some peter witts and bowser trolly's. i was thinking of changing out the trolley poles, taking out the silhouettes, replacing with frosted windows. not sure on how this trolley operates. bad/ good/ very good.. thanks   don

any opinions on this model? thanks

both loco's are the single motor . the original drivers have a metal axle with a plastic gear which acts as an insulator. the drive gears that i purchased from bachmann to replace them have one wheel insulated and have brass bearings and do not contact the pickup plate on the outside of the truck..... not sure if i need or can change the trucks to bachmanns newer version. don't get much info from bachmann on this question... thanks

i have two 44 tonners with split or loose gears.... the new replacements are different and will not fit in my trucks.... if i replace the trucks with the newer version will they fit my loco's???...both are single motor versions.. thanks

thanks for the responces...i was wondering about the loco's slow speed control, noise level etc. i will be using this on dc power..thanks

how do these loco's run? using  dc power..thanks

so i purchased the nyc 4-8-4 and it runs great!. noise level... starting speed... and pulling power as good as the other spectrum locos i have. great loco and affordable price

how would you rate the newer niagara has far as pulling power.... noise level ..slow speed responce....weight....etc?? do they compare to the spectrum line.  i have many spectrum steamers and i would rate them very high....thanks...don

having trouble with some sharks running together.  have lubed and run in separtley , but some have a noisy gear sound/buzzing when running together.. using dc for power...  help!!

i've had some sucess by taping the inside shell with masking tape...

sorry about that....my idiot co-worker thinks he's funny...apparently i can't leave the web site on and walk away for a minute when he's around.anyway as i was saying  i will try those suggestion and see if they help thanks again..don
