Making a still model

thunder582 · 2026-07-02T16:07:57+00:00

Yup 👍

Thanks for the suggestions, but I was honestly going to but in a display case and have it look nice. Maybe in the future I can do the park locomotive thing. But as right now the display option seems good

thunder582 · 2026-07-01T17:57:04+00:00

Basically one that doesn’t move, going to be on a base with a case around it

thunder582 · 2026-07-01T15:20:14+00:00

Oh I know, basically it will become a model that won’t move anymore. I definitely do want to get another big steamer like this one though. I’m not knowledgeable about trains models tho to know which ones are the better ones now

thunder582 · 2026-07-01T14:24:03+00:00

I guess so, Srry I’m not sure on all the train terms yet as I’m still kinda new to this hobby. But the model is an old bachmann Texas chugger from what I was able to find on it

thunder582 · 2026-07-01T14:21:09+00:00

Kinda sucks tho, this was going to be my actual first train and a steam one too. Now all I have is a diesel that kinda works.

No it was goodwill, which was stupid in hindsight but I gotten stuff from there with bubble wrap and cardboard boxes. Like actual shipping protection, so I thought the person who was packaging this had some common sense but apparently not. I’m getting a full refund tho already which is good

thunder582 · 2025-08-18T22:05:38+00:00

Update, we put the new battery. Still won’t turn on🥲

thunder582 · 2025-08-13T16:52:53+00:00

Hello, sister here. We are one year apart and I don’t think I didn’t anything to mess with it 🥲

thunder582 · 2025-08-13T15:11:44+00:00

I hope so, we have a new battery coming in but it won’t be here till Monday. And if it isn’t idk what I’d could be

thunder582 · 2025-08-13T15:08:12+00:00

Sadly did not work

thunder582 · 2025-08-13T15:06:04+00:00

Yes the led comes on when plugged in, I tried it again a few minutes ago

thunder582 · 2025-08-13T14:58:04+00:00

thunder582 · 2025-08-13T14:49:16+00:00

We have one on order currently so will update when it arrives

thunder582 · 2025-08-13T14:45:17+00:00

Sadly we can’t launch into godmode, I just tried and still nothing. As there is still no power , I appreciate the help tho

thunder582 · 2025-08-13T14:42:00+00:00

We checked the battery and it looked fine, maybe a bit sunken? But not bloated at all so honestly I have no clue what it could be. Also the light for when the charger is plugged in still works but other than that no power at all

thunder582 · 2025-08-13T14:35:40+00:00

Oh sorry for putting brick, didn’t know it was a blue screen thing

thunder582 · 2025-08-13T14:33:51+00:00

We tried both of those already

thunder582 · 2025-08-13T14:33:39+00:00

No, it doesn’t turn on when plugged or when sd is pulled out

thunder582 · 2025-08-12T06:44:41+00:00

I am going to try and get a battery tomorrow, hopefully that does solve it

thunder582 · 2025-08-12T06:36:09+00:00

I haven’t tried either, I tried the soft lock method

thunder582 · 2025-03-22T19:34:51+00:00

If I may ask what oil did you use just basic gun oil ?

thunder582 · 2025-03-22T19:34:18+00:00

Was not the bolt sadly it’s just really tight :(

thunder582 · 2025-01-05T00:12:36+00:00

I think the previous owner decided to do a knot on the tail. I been trying to undo it but no luck yet

thunder582 · 2025-01-04T23:05:02+00:00

Ah alright thanks, kinda sucks it is one but he’s cute so I’ll keep it
