My Bachmann Class 25 would not run smoothly, and would not climb hills at all. In this video I dismantle it, diagnose the fault, repair the loco, and test my repair.

One tip for you is if you re taking loco's apart use a screw top off a coke or squash bottle to keep the screws in then they don't get lost.

That's a good tip, thanks. I do have a couple of suitable trays, but they are all in use at the moment. I should have a clean up and finish some other projects...

Thanks. There's definitely more to come -- I've got some footage already filmed that's in the queue for editing at the moment.

Don't use super-glue direct from the bottle, you have no control, pop some on a piece of card and use something, paper-clip, length of rod etc., to apply it. Much safer.

Hi I have a bachmann 25 that’s just jerky on slow speed any suggestions

@DongitsModelRailway Жыл бұрын

DC or DCC? Mechanically, check the drive from the motor is turning the worms at the top of both bogies. If just one is loose, you could see hesitant running at slow speed (rather than a complete fail with both loose like mine was). Electrically, I've seen issues with the TV suppression components and DCC decoders. I've had to remove mine to get the chip to be happy with it.
