I made a webpage describing the problem I am having so I could put larger photos. The link is below. It is with a bachmann locomotive with factory installed sound and I don't know where to attach its wires. Any help would be very appreciated.

It is not common in EMD locomotives because they have a clutch which drives the turbo from the engine until there is enough exhaust gas to spin it properly. GEs lack this feature so when winding up from low speeds they can deposit some unburned fuel in the exhaust system, there is not enough...

I got an SD70MAC with a squeak somewhere but after it ran in circles on a display track for 5 hours it was gone and the locomotive ran even quieter than before. The squeak hasn't returned yet. If you do decide to lube be very sparing as a little goes way farther than you would think. Make...

Would it be different for the silo type?
Does anyone know what are the details on top of a coal loadout? I think there are some electrical stuff and conveyor drives and maybe dust collection but I don't know what any of it looks like. Any photos or descriptions would be helpful.
I never apply CA from the bottle to the project unless it is in an area that won't be seen, interior bracing for example. I put a drop on the plastic package detail parts come in or the top of a small yogurt container and use a piece of wire to apply the glue. At work we use a box, 24 bottles...
Acetone, aka fingernail polish remover, dissolves CA. There are some non-acetone nail polish removers though so read the label. I know you said you adjusted the track but it sounds like the symptom of too sharp a vertical curve from the flat to the grade. Locomotives are generally more...
