I did a superficial cleaning, and it now runs much better, DMK

What is the easiest way to mount a loco with many engine and tender wheels to mount? Use a rerailing ramp? Dave K

No, New Bachmann steam engines. The Bachmann engines are of a lighter and more flimsly design then their competition. Engine front and rear trucks need download help and the tender trucks, the same. DMK

The PECO turnouts are far better than the Atlas ones but I am starting to see several Bachmann sream engines derailing at the points and frogs. The Bachmann engine front trucks and tender trucks seem to be particularly sensitive. DMK.

Do not solder as I may change the track from time to time. DMK

My multi drive wheel steam engines are worse than the diesels.

Tony, I am using only PECO insulfrog turnouts, DMK

The front truck on my recently purchased Bachmann 53954 tender needs to be reasssembled. Any tips? DMK

Purchased on the internet

Lowest price and where? DMK

Has anyone purchased this engine? If so, how does it run? DMK

Smudge, Thanks for the great post. The Slick Way RR thanks you. DMK

Could you point out where to locate feeders and rail gaps when using PECO N insulfrog or electrofrog turnouts? DMK

Jeff, All good suggestions considering that a lot of electrical current needs to go through a small contact point. DMK
