Large / Re: 4-6-0 Gen7 Pittman motor
Last post by Greg Elmassian - February 12, 2025, 11:14:55 PM
I find that hard to believe, because Pittman merged with another company, and the motors they make NOW are too expensive for the 4-6-0....

If you research what Pittman makes NOW, those motors are way too expensive. Pretty sure the motor in the K27 was a pittman though, but that was years ago.

Anyone have an actual picture of the motor and it showing the Pittman logo? (Even Aristo had Mabuchi motors with their logo, even the counterfeits) (another story)

Given that they did indeed base the China Clay Wagons on the Railway Series illustrations, maybe in future they WOULD be willing to recolor Bachmann 58807 Donald and 58808 Douglas into Blue Donald and Blue Douglas. Bachmann really respects the Thomas Fans, and they have surprised us in the last few years, with the Toby's Museum Coaches being made because of a fan's artwork, and now both the 80th Anniversary Railway Series set and the Railway Series China Clay wagons.

EZ command is the DCC equivalent of the old train set transformer of old......  Just enough to run the train, and today, activate a few sound functions.  That's it.  If you want to do more, you have to invest in a more advanced DCC system.

Thomas & Friends / Oliver not working!
Last post by Stephen62 - February 12, 2025, 04:08:53 PM
Could anyone please help me figure out why my Oliver just stopped working entirely today during my running session.  He was working just fine, then all of a sudden, stopped. It's like his wheels are locked up. I got him to run very briefly in reverse on my wheel cleaner, but when I tried to switch to forward, it stopped again. I ran all the engines on the track cleaner while I was getting all my rolling stock out. Any suggestions? I don't wanna have to completely replace him if I don't have to

As you can see on the pilot truck, the "axle tube" has split and is no longer holding pilot wheels in place.
Bachmann has an improved version that is a plastic core (for electrical isolation) combined with a metal outer sleeve to reduce splitting.

I have used them and they work great. Use may have to use a C-Clamp to get the wheels properly seated into the tube.
