this year has been great for g gauge modelers,new locos,rolling stock,now i read that sanda kan will be in the hands of kader,that will be even better,maybe a broader range,as we all know what brands they make at present,again,great news from a great maker of fine products,these opions are mine,may not be for all,but in australia we have freedom to speak,well done,i will continue to support the hobby as much as i can,cheeers,peter

hi ,isthere any tricks to getting smoke units out of the shays boiler,this has had 12 months work,now its died,i think an article was done a while back in garden railways about an lgb,circuit board etc,any ideas,ill keep looking thru the mags to find the article,thanks guys,peter

hi there chaps,i have been thinking that on30,might be the way for a smaller outdoor layout,any ideas,or suggestions on track,and does any one have any sound samples,of the bachmann locos with the factory sound,i cant seem to find any,im ok with large scale,but not up with on30,any help is great,thanks,peter in auzzie

hi chaps,i have seen on thebay,a loco,how do these perform,i seem to recall a problem with gears,not sure if its correct,any help,info will be useful,thanks,peter

  ;Dhi chaps,just a quick question,will the kay be able to pull more,as it has all the wheels on the track,than the connie????also is the speed of these 2 compatable to double head,with track power,i hope mine will be in this week,looks like a few things to keep an eye on,but its a great loco,thanks peter....

hi guys,isee a lyn loco on thebay,as new not run,is this loco a good runner,i want to copy a model of our famous puffing billy,which is 2-6-2,the wheel config is not big problem,is the running gear the same as the new porter,im not sure,any help is good help,thanks peter

hi guys thanks again-re connie gearbox,i was keen to see if anyone has used the train-li bender,how is it for bending,or should i use r4 5 curves,thanks,peter.........

hi guys,just a quick question,the connie drive gears,on the axle,are they replacable,do you buy an axle with gear,i think thats the best bet,or just buy a rolling chassis,less motor etc,the motor,gears with it appear fine..thanks again,peter...also on k27,my green boiler,black drg loco maybe here for xmas,i hope looks fantastic.....

hi again,i have just lubed up a new connie,made a weird noise,like gears out of mesh,i know curmudgeon has done this a hudred times,this is a first for me,how do i get at the motor to check the gearbow mount,many thanks,peter

dear sirs,i asked some simple questions,no response was the reply,can you fix this please????any help,is help,thanks peter..

thankyou,bachmann the k-27 looks a lovely loco,as is all the other large scale locos,but when,and where,are the item numbers,photos,going to appear in the products menu,i guess,all this is being done as we email each other,i want to order one,but in australia,our places of purchase,are limeted,hope you can shed some light on this,keep up the fantastic work,peter downunder..

g,day to you all,i now have a connie,at long last,a great loco,but i notice the tender floor has a slight upward bend in it,is this an easy fix,just thought i would ask all you guys,girls that have one,thanks,peter,the bend is in the floor not the body,cheeers,fromaussie
