[random12multi]

[re49991]

@tycoonkid9 no its not

[ggarcia84]

I have that exact same loco, I believe it's a gp 38-2. It runs pretty good after not being used for over 14 years. It's a little noisy though.

[fallingup90]

i have the same engine but it's not a Santa Fe. Mine sputtered all the time after "someone" had messed around with it. I ran it at 80% for about 25 minutes foward & backwards. After that the engine ran much smoother and is as good as new

[jmsschooner]

CNrocks4710 you got owned by your own momma

[Floridaman98]

uhh.....how did this get  81K views?

[bmxisdope]

how much did you pay for this train set i have the same one and i got it at shopko for $35.00

[knightbob81]

Do you see little black spots on your track? Then its dirty.

I have a life like magic eraser thing it works perfect scince i have a small layout (not sure the size)

[sort187]

@knightbob81 Also, check for that black buildup on the contact trucks. You could have the cleanest track in the world, but if the contacts are dirty, it'll still buck, hitch and stall.

life like sucks dick

[Jared1452]

So true.

[TrainMaster11234]

is the santa fe digital

[arthurleino]

My first Bachmann gave up the Ghost, My life like of same age still works great! Both were given to me in 1995. Funny though, my American Flyer's both over 50 yrs old run good too!

[1995fordf150]

I have this same set. Guess what the engine did a few days ago? it died.

[LoneSniperSG]

I have the same problem with the same track, so, must just be the track.

[tjmfishing]

it could be a dead spot in the track, that has been happening on my layout lately as im waiting on ballast. the track is only pinned down and can move around a lot.

[Darkstick27]

perhaps, Im in the process of replacing my track over the next few months, the oldest parts are many years old

[ricofojas2011]

@Darkstick27 whats that pink car?.

[sd40u]

have you tried cleaning the track? and is it brass or nickel silver?

[CSX2665]

i have never had my 1st bachmann engine & all Bachmann cares for is 4 DCC and DCC on board.

[NorfolkWestern34]

all of my engines are bachmann, and they havent given me any problems

[TalesOfLifeComics]

just go with kato, atlas, and everything EXCEPT bachmann. trust me on this.

[TalesOfLifeComics]

no, i agree with mitch9521, bachmann stuff is crap. i bought an engine a few months ago, in december, and its already giving me issues!!! it looks nice, but doesnt perform well. and havent you ever heard of kato?! i just got a GG1 from them and dont regret my purchase! it is one of the best buys i have ever made. but i do regret getting anything bachmann. and the only reason i would buy from bachmann again is to expand my temporary layout! but i would much rather use unitrack

[TexasPacific]

The bachmann stuff has been really upgraded. Now the new stuff is as good as proto 2000 or b.l.i

[Darkstick27]

yeah, this one is going on seven years old...

[keithcar]

Cool Ive got a couple of these life likes geeps I got in a set my grandpa gave me. One of them is identical to yours the other is a dummy and numbered 3600. I also have a union pacific and a chessie system one but they dont work anymore.

[Darkstick27]

its a life-like, not a bachmann fool.

[sort187]

@Darkstick27 Those LifeLikes can be kitbashed to make pretty decent looking models. And the power/torque is unbelieveable. I put some extra weight over the traction wheels, and I'm able to haul longer trains. It's not bad for being on the cheap.

[trainz675]

is that #3500 or 6067 my because friend has #3500 i have #6067

[Darkstick27]

Its #3500. I got it in a set

[skylineevo2001]

[BRIANamtrak]
