the boiler front is a replaceable part, on the parts list. I ordered one for use in another style Bachmann loco,
popped right in.. headlight.. glad you found the problem.. in the tender on the front wiring solder pads yellow wire on #4 is the head light return, if you remove it and add a 680 ohm resistor and solder to a ground pad on J1 the light will be on when power is on.. all my battery powered locomotives run this way..  Ed

like all Bachmann locos the smoke box cover will slide out of the smoke box.. but before doing that check the connectors
between the tender and loco, I've had problems with those and the head light not working. also remember the lighting
power comes off the ckt board in the tender.. also if you had installed a new style revolution card in the p-n-p socket some extra wiring is needed..ed

These holes on the models at the rear are what would be on full size tenders to let water on the deck from filling the tender to run into the tank and also to let air into the tank as the injectors suck the water out when filling the boiler..

We call the Revolution Receiver board the "Revo board".. This plugs into the onboard plug & play
socket.
The sound board is mounted inside the tank shell. I attempted to attach pictures but was unable too.
Merry Christmas  ..ed

Hi Trainman and Kevin. When I did my 2-6-6-2 I had to enlarge the opening for the Revo board.
A 4 cell 14 volt battery pack will fit in the fuel bunker if you use the oil tank top. The Phoenix
board sits down on the right side.

I gave you the wrong battery for the RS3..this one and they both use the same charger..

I know, Bachmann does not make the Rs3, just passing along some info..Ed

I use this battery and charger in my C-19. Also use it in my Anne 4-6-0 and Aristo RS3s. The battery will slip down into the front area of tender.

Will you be using a revolution receiver..?
Good Luck, Ed McConnell
