Review: Excellent small light addition to your train cars - These work on 95 percent of my HO train cars. There are only a few cars that have space/swing issues with the wheel assembly itself. They look great and easily add light to each train cars rear. I have them on all of my cars, not just the rear car. They work great as advertised.
Review: Great Addition to My HO Scale Layout! - I received the Bachmann End of Train Device (EOTD) today and installed it on my new Bachmann Industries CSX #256439 ACF 56’ Center-Flow Hopper (HO Scale). I have to say it works and looks amazing! While I normally don’t order Bachmann products due to their lesser focus on intricate detailing compared to other brands, this EOTD exceeded my expectations. Installation was an absolute breeze, and it added a realistic touch to my layout that I didn’t realize I was missing. Yes, Bachmann may not be known for the same level of detail as some other brands, but their durability is a big advantage. With fewer fragile parts, their products can withstand regular handling better, which is great for active model railroading. Overall, this EOTD is an excellent addition, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking to enhance their layout with a functional and visually appealing detail.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this fit Walthers 75' auto train auto carrier?**
A: I can not say for sure. It depends on the distance from the circuit board located on the trucks to the coupler. Most cars yes. But the Walthers rolling stock you describe has the trucks mounted  farther away from the cars ends then most. The wires hold the flashing device and about an inch long from the truck mounted circuit board unless your really good with soldering 26 gage wiring where you could extend the length. However you could try. Amazon that returns without any issues.

**Q: It doesn't come with the screw, i have ordered twice, it is unusable as the whole is too large for regular truck screw. why is screw pictured and not**
A: The screw pictured is typical for Bachmann freight cars as is the unit itself.  You can use it other stock but to do you may need a grommet like spacer with it so that it stays centered and/or use a washer or a screw with a flange to holdit on.

**Q: Will this fit a maxi-IV well car?**
A: Yes it will.

**Q: What’s the wheel size**
A: HO scale 36” wheels
