I finally fixed my 4-6-0. I kept having problems with the lead truck derailing. I first tried weights with no luck. Then I spread the wheels out a little and it did the trick. ( I alos order a lead truck from Barry. When I got it in I will use that) Had the trains running all day without an accident. Eventually I want to weather my trains and have just short box cars and short logging cars with a logging caboose. (Logging RR) Winters projects. Here are some pictures of my bach running. Eventually my shots will get more realistic looking as things grow.
Shoester, From a short time you did a great job! Looks nice.
Show us the before and after of what you did on the front trucks. (it helps others)

Cool Beans! I just saw your post over on the bachmann forums and was going to send you a PM here to see if you had any luck fixing the problem and saw this post lol
Toad is right though you have gotten alot done it short time, I dont even have any track down yet im still working on finishing up getting the roadbed down that I started in the fall! I need to stop messing around with the trains inside and get back to work outside now that it has warmed up
Cant wait to see your setup more finished with the stuff you just said it already looks great!

Thanks, I did get a lot more done than I thought. Everything went smooth. Whenever I got to a part I though was going to take time ended being easy. My main goal was to get the track down and worry about planting latter. When I saw that under 4 bucks I could get Dwarf Spruce etc... I jumped on it. I ended up getting what I needed. I still have a lot of fine details to work on.
