I had to do the same thing for 64 pieces of rolling that had couplers mounted to the trucks (talgo trucks). I also replaced all the plastic wheel sets with Walthers Proto 2000 metal wheel sets. This hobby gets expensive when you do upgrades. I also made some wheel pickups out of some thin copper strips I salvaged from an old computer and lit up an REA (Railway Express Agency) mail car and put LED strip lighting in it. I used bright white LED strip (about 12 LED's that can be cut apart at every 3rd LED) and it was too white so I took the coach apart again and painted each LED with yellow acrylic paint. Now it has that warm glow. I remember making a bunch of shims to go under the draft boxes. On some of the coaches I had to drill through the weight and ran the 2-56 tap through it. Those will never come off. And I did the same thing you did and used a 2-56 screw through the center of each coupler to keep them secure. I also placed a small drop of CA beside each screw head before painting them to make sure the screw never backs out. You can use those pieces you cut from the trucks as shims too. Cheers from an ex-Georgian in eastern TN
Thanks for watching. Yes, this hobby is expensive when you start upgrading and making improvements to your layout.
Amazing 😊
Thanks

This is the best video on how to repair any Bachmann Locomotive that has this problem, I have four and can't wait to get started on the repair, PS I have watched Newmoris video channels on how to fix Locomotives and yours is the best.
Thanks nice to hear that you enjoyed my video.
Lionel FunDimensions version was worse
You’re right about that. First generations are worse.
Beautiful setup
Thank you. Nice to hear that you like layout.

Nice job on the lights. We have some older Athearn passenger cars that this would work great for.
Thank you. Nice that you liked the video and my work.
Looks like fun. Brings me back to the 1980's plywood empire days. Good times Fren. Wait till you see what our future holds. Thanks for sharing.

Hello! I have a couple of these with cracked plastic wheels.. Can you describe how to remove and install new plastic wheels, and do I need an engine specific wheel rather than a regular rolling stock wheel/
Hi Ted, On my locomotive, the truck side frames were not attached so I twisted the cracked plastic wheel off the axle. Then I was able to replace the wheel with a good one. Twisting it back on. I used an ho scale NMRA gauge tool to properly align the wheels. You probably could use a rolling stock wheel if the wheel is same diameter and can fit on the locomotive axle.
@@SnakeRiverJunction-en3dy Thank you so much for your advice! I enjoy the challenge of fixing trains in my old age now that I am limited physically. Do you have a method of taking the truck sides off of one engine to use on another without breaking the tabs off the truck side like the engine in your video? Thanks!
I tend to use a small slotted screwdriver and carefully pry the side frames off. Doesn’t always work without cracking the tabs off. When you deal with old plastic, tends to break off no matter what you do. Haven’t found an easier way to do it. Little CA glue and it’s back on.
@@SnakeRiverJunction-en3dy Thanks again!
Very nice
Thank you
Ah, the old 1970s/1980s Atlas GP40 with the screwdriver slots in the tank sides. In order to install KD's, I had to file out the couplers slots a great deal. I sold mine a couple decades ago - who knows, maybe the one in this video used to be in my collection.
Nice that my video brings back memories. Could be your train. I didn’t see any file mark where the couplers go through the shell.

Great Video and Amazing song 🎧 🎵 🎶 🎼
Thank you very much BT 5447
American's train 😊😊.
This is a great tutorial, thank you for posting this. I had wired mine in similar fashion, albeit i have the rectifier located in one of the vestibule ends, so that i could add seating/interior details. I also have the wiring between the trucks and lights connected with JST connectors . Reason for that is so i could remove the upper shell and not have it connected to the floor during interior detail additions. Great job!.
Thanks for liking the video. JST connectors are great.
Super 😊👍👍.
J have model Pullman cars for Rivarossii 😊😊..(one Pullman cars).
Good video. Covers all the basics. New sub. Thanks Would like to see a P2K GP7/9 get the same treatment. I know they are similar but often ignored on TH-cam.
Thanks for liking my video. I’ll keep those locomotives in mind. If I come across one, I will share the video.
That Amtrak was a surprise. Wasn’t expecting it to be in that box. Great video
Thanks
