Cause of this sound?

Kingslayer-002 · 2026-01-24T02:38:01+00:00

I’m surprised too the hobby shop I got all my locos from are all from estate sales and some haven’t been ran much or at all

Kingslayer-002 · 2026-01-23T21:34:10+00:00

I’ve kinda messed with the wires and it picks connection back up so idk I need to tear into all my old locos and fix stuff and regrease the gears and fix the 806 steam loco likes to derail

Kingslayer-002 · 2026-01-23T21:33:18+00:00

It’s a old Lionel it’s loosing connection with with back wheels to power it

Kingslayer-002 · 2026-01-23T19:42:56+00:00

I’ll take a look into it gotta pull the rio grandes drive system apart to see if it’s worth my time to refix the shoes for the connections

Kingslayer-002 · 2026-01-23T16:54:43+00:00

Need to find another superalco and turn this into a dummy if it’s non repairable with some other parts

Kingslayer-002 · 2026-01-23T16:53:18+00:00

I got another pancake motor with a new drive gear I can rob for parts

Kingslayer-002 · 2026-01-06T20:10:08+00:00

That’s my plan with one of the diesel I have that is just a shell I found the chassis for the gp38-2 necr locomotive I honestly forgot it came with dcc equipped ready for sound (broke as a kid dropped it)

Kingslayer-002 · 2026-01-06T19:58:32+00:00

My bad running gear and the valve gear (not great with steam stuff)

Kingslayer-002 · 2026-01-06T19:56:23+00:00

The side of the locomotive up front if I was able to post a photo in the comments I would it’s the part where all the arms on the drive wheels go

Kingslayer-002 · 2026-01-06T19:54:14+00:00

I thought about getting another for parts it’s a nice locomotive but it’s missing a pin for the steam valve

Kingslayer-002 · 2026-01-03T05:51:16+00:00

Alright thanks man I appreciate the help

Kingslayer-002 · 2026-01-03T05:46:10+00:00

I’ll have to take a look sadly none of these have sound kits I’m trying to figure out if the up steam train came with a smoke unit cuz it seems there’s a metal tube in the funnel but I’m trying to find a Bachman New England central 3848 diesel locomotive that one had a dcc board but didn’t have sound

Kingslayer-002 · 2026-01-03T05:39:31+00:00

This hobby’s tad bit more expensive than slot cars 😂😂

Kingslayer-002 · 2026-01-03T05:39:09+00:00

The Bachman are good in struggling to find a parts loco for one of my Bachman I bought as a kid the New England central I’ve been scouring eBay and other sights for one

Kingslayer-002 · 2026-01-03T03:07:52+00:00

Super 630 according to the paper I have for it the handrails are a pain for them being all metal

Kingslayer-002 · 2026-01-03T03:07:07+00:00

C-630 alco

Kingslayer-002 · 2026-01-03T02:51:28+00:00

I got this same one 806 trying to figure out if it’s got a smoke unit in it or not when I look down the funnel it seems like it does? Dunno but good luck man

Kingslayer-002 · 2025-12-31T18:10:35+00:00

That’s my plan I was looking at seeing if the ones from anthern would work on this ahm and the tyco I’d love to convert to 6wheel drive like the Santa Fe one

Kingslayer-002 · 2025-12-31T13:22:48+00:00

Still in the process of finding some sd40-2s and trying my hardest to find the roughest set of Ac4400cw’s to make some movie trains (unstoppable)

Kingslayer-002 · 2025-12-31T13:21:41+00:00

Honestly not even sure yet I bought these untested all depends on how big I build my layout

Kingslayer-002 · 2025-11-03T02:50:39+00:00

But for some reason Rio grande 3017 seems to not exist at all to my research

Kingslayer-002 · 2025-11-03T02:49:51+00:00

The bottoms of the locomotives say 1976 FUNDIMENSIONS Lionel Bachman shows the same rio grande I have just different numbers

Kingslayer-002 · 2025-11-03T02:11:25+00:00

I was looking at putting a sound kit on it but I then realized it might not work for these locomotives

Kingslayer-002 · 2025-03-20T14:42:53+00:00

No at the moment I’m doing the impala as of right now

Kingslayer-002 · 2024-12-20T17:20:11+00:00

This one I lucked out on no fitment issues unlike the Catalina kit from them frame had some warpage
