    Thanks for posting this!! I'm an HO scale guy called upon to repair an n scale Bachmann 0-6-0 for my neighbor's young son. Thanks to this video I was able to make the repair. A double thumbs up from us!!!

    Eric, exceptional, calming ‘how-to’ video. A Super WoW 🥳🥳. I recently purchased one of these and on taking it out of the box, those super miniature screws had come off the drive rods. I may try to re-attach them, using your clear description of alignment. Thanks !!!

    It has been a while since you posted this video, but I thought I would share my recent experience with a Bachmann 0-6-0.
    Recently, I received a brand new Bachmann 0-6-0. It is a very nice little locomotive with sloped tender. Runs really good at slow and high speeds. Very quiet. I just hooked up 18 twin-bay hoppers, one small tank car, and a caboose, and it pulled all 20 cars (unweighted) quite easily at low speed (and faster) on a level track. I am pretty impressed. I do not want to overwork the Loco, so I did not add any more cars.
    Your two 0-6-0 videos were the primary reason I decided to get this locomotive.
    Thanks much!

    This is exactly the kind of video I was looking for to see if I wanted to buy a Bachmann steam engine! Thank you for making this video. I think the 0-6-0 will work perfectly for my Steam era stitching puzzle!

      Of you get a Kato 2-8-2 Heavy, it is far superior in every way. Plus if you ever decide to sell it, you can get your money back.

    Another great video. Bachmann is the only company I can tell that has an N scale USRA switcher on the market. And yes, their quality has really improved.

    This is an awesome video Eric. I had two Bachmann 0-6-0s that I tore apart and fixed. They ran fine when I sold them on eBay. It was a struggle to fix them and this video would have been such a big help a couple of years ago. I sold all my steam except for three because they are so finicky. I keep my Rivarossi 0-6-0 because it runs pretty nice. I also have a Rivarossi 2-8-2 and lan Atlas pacific that run nice. They all run nice it won’t pull worth a crap.

      I you get a Kato F-E-F 3, you will see: It’s completely different. You can enjoy running steam trains.

    Thanks for this tutorial. I recently bought a very old N scale Locomotive (it works just fine), and I was curious about how these Loco's came apart, but it seems most RUclips clips II saw so far covered Diesel Engins, and not Steam Locomotives.

    Another bright idea I've had is to take a Bachmann 2-6-2. Add carefully shaped lead weight to the sides of the boiler, a bunker to the back of the cab. Viola a 2-6-2t.

    Nice video. I don't know if you have any advice but I got a new ho model of a 0-6-0 and the rivet connecting the crosshead to the side rode I think is loose because the crosshead comes out of the sidebar. You have any idea on tightening it by yourself?

    • @watchtrainsnow1099
      @watchtrainsnow1099  Год назад

      I’m not sure. I have repaired broken parts before with crazy glue. But you have to be careful not to get it in moving parts.

      They are both the same drive, so maybe it was a 2-6-2. And the person that had it before lost the pilot and trailing truck.

      As far as tweezers go, it’s a 50/50 chance. I have had times when the pin flew of from the tweezer. I guess it depends on your mood on that day.
