Changing Housing on a Bachmann DCC Diesel
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, February 1, 2007 11:03 PM

Not sure if this is possible, but I have 3 Bachmann DCC engines that I would like to chnage the housing on (ie. to a different road name)...

Can you buy a different road name housing for Bachmann locomotives?  Is this possible or am I nuts?

It is possible.  You may or may not be able to purchase the replacement shells.

Might be a dumb question, but where do you buy the replacement shells?

See if Bachmann has the certain road name  you want. You could also strip them and repaint them yourself.
