bachmanns big hauler train

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know where the batteries go to make the train run? I received the train as a gift and the controler has batteries but does the train also need batteries to make it run? Your help please

Thank You[:D]

If yours is like the one I have, there's a piece that opens up on the backhead, inside the cab. Mine's packed away and I haven't used it in a long time so I can't be more specific.

Yep that sounds about right.

If the locomotive is one of Bachmann's early Big Hauler's, like the 4-6-0, just remove the boiler backhead and insert 6 C-cell batteries.  The backhead is removed straight up.  On the sides, of the battery area, there should be some kind of sticker telling you how to insert the batteries.
