  • Page 2 There are two etches, one for the EasiChas for the loco and tender and one for the detailing kit for loco and tender. Numbers shown in square brackets [ ] in the instructions refer to the etch (L or T for the EasiChas etch and D for the detail etch) and part numbers, e.g., [L2] is part 2 on the EasiChas etch.
  • Page 3 Your loco and tender are now ready for conversion. 3.14 Wash your hands as you will have grease on them from stripping the chassis and the etches should be kept as clean as possible. Brassmasters Bachmann Wainwright C EasiChas – Version 1.2 June 2013...
  • Page 4 ‘U’ shape. Push through the rivets on the ash pan [L4] and fold up into an inverted ‘U’. See photos. Check the firebox fits up between the mainframes and the Bachmann chassis. Brassmasters Bachmann Wainwright C EasiChas – Version 1.2 June 2013...
  • Page 5 Glue or solder the front guard irons [L5 and L6] to the chassis frames immediately in front of the leading axle brake ‘pockets’ (there is a mark on the frames) and bend to shape. Photo above right is of a similar arrangement on a 3F Brassmasters Bachmann Wainwright C EasiChas – Version 1.2 June 2013...
  • Page 6 Repeat for the other two sets of brake hangers making sure the pull rods are behind the spring etches on the keeper plate, outside of the ashpan and inside the brake shaft brackets at the rear of the loco. Cut the wire to length. Brassmasters Bachmann Wainwright C EasiChas – Version 1.2 June 2013...
  • Page 7 See photo. 5.36 Re-fit the loco body. The basic loco conversion is now complete. Brassmasters Bachmann Wainwright C EasiChas – Version 1.2 June 2013...
  • Page 8 Remove the frames and drill a 1.5 mm hole in the body. Screw the self tapping screw into this hole, and then remove. Brassmasters Bachmann Wainwright C EasiChas – Version 1.2 June 2013...
  • Page 9 Remember plastic does not produce an electrical short and the wheels are sprung so move vertically! 7.2.2 If fitting the etched replacement brake hangers/blocks, the brake gear need to be removable otherwise it is impossible to remove the wheels. Brassmasters Bachmann Wainwright C EasiChas – Version 1.2 June 2013...
  • Page 10 7.2.11 Detach the EasiChas from the Bachmann chassis and attach three pieces of 0.6 mm wire across the mainframes using the holes provided, protruding an equal amount beyond the wheels on both sides (I used pieces 23 mm long to be trimmed back later).
  • Page 11 Solder the nut plate [D11] over the outside of the cut-outs with the nuts towards the top of the plate. See photo (showing tank/brake frame for 00 rather than EasiChas but exactly the same assembly) Brassmasters Bachmann Wainwright C EasiChas – Version 1.2...

  • Page 13 EasiChas frames. When we devised a method that could be used with the original 00 wheels, we realised that it could also be used with the EasiChas so we have included it as an alternative set of instructions at 8.3. The second version has the advantage that the brake gear can be clipped in and out, whereas the first version has to be assembled around the wheels.
  • Page 14 8.3.3 Solder 0.5 mm support wire across the EasiChas frame/ brake frame so the ends are flush with the wheel faces. Also tack, to one side only, a piece of 0.6 mm wire by just under 24 mm long (to clear the inside of the Bachmann frames) through the brake shaft supports at the front of the frames.
  • Page 15 8.3.12 Offer the EasiChas up to the Bachmann tender and trim the crosswires so that they fit just inside the Bachmann tender. 8.3.13 Solder the outer pull rods [D12 & D13] to the ends of the cross wires, then cut back the support wire to the outside of the brake hangers.
