Barry;

 

Which Bachmann J do you have?  regular, Plus, or Spectrum?

 

All are very different.

HELP!

I think the motor on my J has died. I can replace it with a Maxon coreless 6W motor but I can't see how I can get the boiler top off to get at the mechanism.

Please tell me!!

Many thanks

The decoder might be set up for 16v lights?   Just guessing.   I fried my J's lights with a Soundtraxx Steam decoder from 2002? era.  Sounds great, but I cooked the LED lights.  I'l re-visit the lights with MV lenses and Grain-Of-Dust lights.





I hate my Bachmann J because of the wimpiest mechanism I've even seen in a 'modern' HO steam engine.  
I'm seriously looking at Gutting it and putting in a real motor and NWSL gearbox.   
This all depends on axle diameter.  
My Brazelton "Auto-Quarter" is for 1/8" axles and slightly smaller Brass imports size.

Hi

I have fitted the above decoder into my Bachmann J which previously had the DCC ready decoder.

All works well and I am very pleased, but, the lights don't work. The generator sound comes on but no lights on the loco.

Any ideas please?

Many Thanks
