Looks cool and easy to install

The light works as expected and is really fun to watch. Installation was quick and easy. I would order more if they were less expensive. Shipment was speedy, love everything.

Looks cool, but may need some work.

I put the first of 3 on a small tank car. The wires going from the wheel base, to the flashing light/coupling are slightly short. When it goes around a right turn it pulls the coupler over and derails the wheel set. I will try it on another car, but may have to extend the wires. Read full review...

Bachmann FRED (end of train device)

Works as it should, rolls great, but be prepared to have to figure out a way to mount it due to the mounting hole being so big. I used washers and an upsized mounting screw to get it to rotate freely and at NMRA height. There is a lot of bleed through the back of the circuit board from the LED, so hand painting it black solves that. 8/10Read full review...

Works good with little effort.

The wide mounting hole on the trucks make standard screws too small. Need washer to adapt screws. Now as a FRED my trains will have to run restricted speed. Will have to use SBU EOT for full speed. CSX EOT repairman, retired.Read full review...

Flashing tail light

This product works well as described as a red flashing light on the back of the last car. Fortunately, I have a few Bachman cars so I only needed to replace the rear truck on a box car. Easy task only taking a few minutes.Read full review...

New EOTs for the railroad

It does work well. Too solve the big hole, I cut a sliver of tubing 0.156 tubing to fit around the 1/8" bolster shoulder and added a washer that covered the truck enough, so it worked on a non-Bachmann car. The EOT is large but looks neat with the flashing light.Read full review...

Great value and very realistic!

Great value! Adapts to almost any type of rolling stock. It works off track power and is very realistic! A must have for any layout and cheaper than buying the whole freight car! Easy to install. One word of caution is this FRED device does not fit on my caboose.Read full review...

Already put on my BNSF shwish grain hopper car. Works excellent. Have a train show coming up in June. Running a BÑSF Grain train at open house.

Bachman Fred Device easy to install

End of train device easy to install. Goes great over switches and grade crossings. Easier to install than the RING version.

It's one of my favorite items to show friends.
It is VERY COOL to watch the train pass and see the light flashing.
Thank you.
