Hello, I just got finish with the repairs and cleaning of my Bachman 4-4-0 "Union Pacific RR #119". This Steam Locomotive is all clean and repairs and ready for her maiden run. She will be pulling The Union Pacific RR Train. If you look at the pictures below, she look happy to be repair and running once again on my layout. My next project will be doing cleaning and repairing, if any, to my Bachman 0-6-0 "AT&SF". Enjoy. Brian Waller
Glad to hear you're on the ball. She didn't sit on the rip track too long! Keep in mind these locos are very very particular about clean rails and wheel surfaces. Enjoy.
UPDATES: Helllo, I sorry for the late delay. I said in my last post that I was getting ready to work on my 0-6-0 AT&SF Steam Locomotive. Well just to say I have it all clean up, all dusts and dirts off of it. After that was done I cleaned the driver wheels and put on tracks and it did not run very well. So I took apart and oil up the gears and put it back together and try it agian. No luck did not run very well it just clugged along very slow with not enough power to pull an train. So I think I have to put it back on the rip tracks unless someone can tell me what to do. For now it will rest on the rip tracks along with my other Steam Locomotive, 2-8-0 Great Northern, untill I can find parts to repair, all I need is the drivers rods. For now these two Loco will rest on my rip tracks. Here are some pictures of my 0-6-0 AT&SF, when I took it apart. Enjoy, Brian Waller
UPDATES: Hello, From my last post, I said that my AT&SF 0-6-0 #2126 and my Great Northern 2-8-0 #1257 are boths sitting on the rip tracks waiting for repairs. I will posting pictures of both of these Locomotives on the rip tracks. I will also be adding pictures of all of my Diesel Locomotives that I have on my layout. Brian Waller
