I completely agree with HoosierDaddy as I sent in one of the old 2-10-4 steam engines that isn't made anymore. They called me and asked if I would accept a replacement engine and I received a new 4-8-4 war baby in it's place. That suited me fine but maybe not in your case? Just a heads up with...

I have sent many engines back to Bachmann over the years and have nothing bad to say. Almost always they have replaced my engines with brand new ones. Worth every penny of the $15 charge.

Gary thanks for the reply. I actually drew a line from the center point from where the turntable was going followed by a second line 10 degrees off. Then I slide the Roundhouse flooring piece in between the lines until the lines met on both sides without going over the lines. I then traced...

I was wondering if anyone has seen this. I have one of the original bicentennial trains put out by Lionel with the GS-4 Steam engine. I purchased it off of ebay many years ago and finally am getting around to cleaning it up and making it run worthy. After a good cleaning and lube, I was...

Hold your breath and dive in! The water is great!(only hold your breath for a little while though!) Seriously I did some google searching using model trains + solder as the search criteria and there was many many good articles to choose from. Soldering just takes a little practice. Remember...

I wonder if the problem is in the motor itself. Perhaps the impedance goes below 10 ohms and when DC is applied it just so happens that the motor is stopped in another spot that has a higher impedance allowing the decoder to restart in DCC mode? Just a thought.

Thanks Darkcurves, just went to the site and ordered it. Should be here by Monday! Didn't know that site existed! Now it's in my favorites.

Hey Darkcurves, Not to get off the subject but where did you get the blue tiger from? Does it have the big flange wheels that require Code 100?
