Hey Lee?

[Catt]

Have you swapped out the couplers on your H16 yet? If so what did you use and how did you do it?

I've been told the the MT-2004 works but i'm thinking it's not going to be a simple drop in replacement.

The replacement for the non running unit showed up today at the LHS.It was dead in the water just like the first one was.  >

Ed,if your reading this,do you know what happened to Conrail B23-7 rd# 1991? This is the road number that Bachmann chose to use and it is not on either the CSX or NS.I know it existed because I have a pic of it but neither patched or repainted .

The Bachmann B23-7 has the wrong road number. !991 was the second order of B23s, and featured a large anticlimber. The earlier order featured a small anticlimber and drop step like those on the Bachmann model. This series was in the 28XX range.

Catt,
The problem with the motor is a very simple one to fix.  Take off the shell, and on the light board you'll see a pair of little bronze clips.  These bridge the connections you would use to install a decoder.  Pull off the clip, pinch it together a bit so it snugs onto the contact more firmly, and that should bring your engine roaring to life.
Just make sure you put the same clip back where you found it. 

The coupler install takes a little creativity and some scrap styrene...  I also added on the foot boards at the bottom of the pilots.
