Title: Baldwin 2-6-0 Question
Post by: kendoitall on April 13, 2007, 05:30:21 PM
I tried using the search function, but with no results: Is the mogul now DCC-Ready? I have an old one, but if the newer versions have the USRA plug, a Tsunami sound decoder is in the future and I will buy a new one. ;D

Dear Ken,
No, the 2-6-0 requires conversion.
Have fun!

If it helps at all, here is an excellent article on how to install DCC and a Tsunami in the 2-6-0.  Thanks Harold!  The conversion is not for the faint of heart, and it would be great to have an upgraded Mogul with DCC.

C.P.R.R. Manager, thank you too. The article should help although I have a faint heart and big fingers. :)

Mr. Bach-mann; 
  Will the 2-6-0 ever be redone and come out with the dcc and sound on board like the forney ?  Also will the other on30 steam ever be rereleased with the sound ? I for one am hoping so.   
Phil

Dear Phil,
I hope so, too. I'll post any announcements as I get them.
Have fun!

Shoot, I hope not. I like them just fine without the sound, besides it would  make the engine even more expensive for me to purches. I hope the 10-wheeler that will eventually come out wont even have it, unless you can get both locos with opptional sound to help the people that havent got the money to purches it.
