Bachmann Big Hauler Batteries

steamyjim · Post by **steamyjim** » Sun Sep 28, 2008 1:55 pm

I bought a Bachmann Big Hauler train set and a LGB Toytrain set today at a bootsale for £65 for them both. The Bachmann Big Hauler is battery powered but i can't work out where the batterys go as there are no instructions.

Does anyone on here know how to fit the batteries?

Thanks in advance

Jim

We have had the tender off and there are no battery holders in there. Just a speaker

But yes...please ask anyone who may be able to help

Not had mine for some years so memory being what it is I could be wrong BUT the batteries did fit in the boiler, the backhead in the cab slid up or out
