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 !!!

You sir have a lot of patience and steady hands! great video's.

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.

Thank you for posting again!

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.

Eric I am glad you finally got my package and that you liked what I sent you. I have no idea when or where I got that steam engine. I am truly amazed that you got it running. Thanks for sharing. Dave

WOW!!!! YOU Have the patience of JOB.

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.

Very good! I have one of these that I am repairing for the second time, broken front axle. The video really shows how to put this together!

Hi Eric, really impressed with your skills. Cheers, Jim L

I did enjoy the video as it covered all my issues with drive linkage, split wheel axles, and pins. Hope to be able to find extra drive wheel pins as like you say, very small and lose easy.

Great video, regrettably when I tried to follow your example on a 080 I failed - hope to find someone as skilled as you to repair it for me..

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 KZfaq clips II saw so far covered Diesel Engins, and not Steam Locomotives.

The newest versions have split frames and better gears and are actually pretty good locos...finally.

I have that engine and it’s works fine and it is in mint condition. And it is not a horrible engine. That is MY opinion.

I have two of these 0-6-0 and there still in parts on my bench in a plastic jar.

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?

Mine was pretty good condition, and since I have another 0-6-0 which is the new one

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.
