does anybody know if it's easy to get a spectrum sound equipped engine in ontario? im planning on getting a j class northern kitbashed into a u4-a northern.
and does anybody know of a suitable deacoder speaker combination for my CNR 2-10-2 that i plan to make prototypical.

ps: here's the real 2-10-2 u can see the abundance of missing parts.

Soundtraxx Heavy Steam Tsunami Decoder with 1 inch speaker Included.

And as for the J Class Northern I'm not sure if they are sold with sound and either way you can just order the engine straight from bachmann. And if they do not come sound equipped, Once again, Soundtraxx Heavy Steam Tsunami Decoder with 1 inch speaker Included

Bachmann does NOT sell directly to the public - only to authorized dealers and distributors.

Then why can you order stuff directly from the website?  ;)

And Unfortuatley Andy it is NOT sold as a pack. And all together the two decoders & the engine would cost about 435 us dollars or *enters some values into google* or about 504 canadian dollars.

Oh i just found a J-Class engine on micromark, sound equipped! Cheaper than the engine itself's retail price! http://www.ares-server.com/Ares/Ares.asp?MerchantID=RET01229&Action=Catalog&Type=Product&ID=83798 Note that the prices are in american, not canadian dollars.


So that brings the price down to about $290 American or $334.37 Canadian. Note that you are on your own with the shipping cost, here is the currency calculator I used just to help you with that: http://www.x-rates.com/calculator.html#

When spending several hundred dollars on model railroad equipment, it is ALWAYS cheaper to purchase if from the US of A than it is to purchase the same equipment in Canada.

Always, everytime, without fail.

However, it's only worth while if you are spending around the US$200 mark.

Even with postage (USPS, NEVER a courier) and the Canada Post tax that they call a "Handling Fee", the cost is always, everytime, without fail, cheaper than going to your LHS.
