Grain of Wheat bulb hookup
Hello. A question about grain of wheat bulbs. I have a small mining tunnel that would accept a grain of wheat bulb for interior lighting of the tunnel. Never have used these bulbs before; but know they will take a very small current. I want to hook them up to the Accessory terminal of my power pack and use, for the time being, a Atlas slide switch to turn the bulb on and off. I recognize that it would literally be on for just a second or for however long I hold the slide switch down, but that is really for testing purposes.
Need help with Bachmann DCC locos
Hi, I have two Bachmann DCC locos, a GP 35 and a GP 40. They both have the RP25 wheelsets. Due to space limits my layout has a section of 15" radius curves that go up a incline. These two locos do not seem to like going around that tight of a curve and almost always derail. I "think" at least part of the problem is that the RP25 wheelsets have a smaller flange that the older locos used to have, and the smaller flange causes the wheels to ride up and over the rail.
Need help with EMD GP18 body shells
Hi, have a couple of AHM EMD GP18 locos that I would like to swap out bodies. Have looked through Atlas, Walters, etc for what I am looking for to no avail. What I want to get is a Rio Grande for one of the locos and a Vermont Railway body for the other. If anyone has one they want to sell or know a website for me to go to, please email me at rlandr0718@att.net. Appreciate any assistance.
