Removing the cab from HO Bachmann Spectrum 50T Climax?
I just want to pull the cab off of a recent two-truck HO Bachmann Spectrum Climax. Removing the obvious two screws on the bottom loosens the cab but, it doesn't fall free! Something in there is hanging up! Bachmann's exploded parts diagram is of no use either.
Short of blindly disassembling the entire drivetrain to expose the boiler and frame screws, does anyone happen to know if there is in fact an simple way to remove the darn thing?
(Not real eager to give it a HARD yank!)

see very often, OK, not at all that I've seen......and I'm not talking about spider man......lol
And there you have it, a prototype for somebody to model......
Newbie question ...Why do people buy /collect one container/roller stock that
Why do people buy /collect one container/rolling stock that they like and then buy it in all the numbers that model comes in. Does it give it more value etc ...just a newbie question
The Problem with Frog Juicers
A mere band-aid to a bigger issue
I recently received Rapido's SW1200RS: this is a beautiful model that is fun to operate and sounds great. Unfortunately, as soon as you start doing some slow-speed switching and you hit a dead frog the locomotive stutters to a stop. While this doesn't happen consistently it happens consistently on those particular frogs. It's in Rapido's hands right now.
C&TS Visit
Visited the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad the last couple days. I highly recommend it. Very railfan friendly, and feels like its an active RAILROAD rather than a tourist ride. I will post some pix as I get them organized.
"Derra North" - An improbable ultimate layout
Hi all,
This blog is about "Derra North" - the Unanderra North Junction on the South Coast Line of NSW Australia, It is perhaps my "ultimate layout" that will almost certainly never be built.
Previously I'd written on another thread
