Good luck on finding a wiring schematic or any help from Bachmann.

Several years ago when I purchased a Spectrum 2-8-0 Consolidation it was dead on arrival because some of the wires had not been soldered to the circuit board.  Every wire in the loco was red, so that didn't help matters any.  I sent an e-mail to Bachmann and was told that they had no schematic for the wiring because the factory had provided none, and that every model seemed to have different colored wire because the assemblers in China were just using whatever color of wire they happened to have on hand that particular day.

In desperation, I just took all of the Bachmann circuit boards and wiring out of the engine and rewired it myself.

Hi     Look at Bachmanns web site there is a part diagram on it,   if you do not see what you want  call your nearest bachmann service centre.     Hope this helps

I Have an old RC Bachman 4-6-0 Loco and I need to reconnect the wiring to the PC board if anyone can supply me with a wiring diagram I would appreciate it.
