A few weeks ago i had a spectrum two motor Ho 44 ton develop a cracked gear. I removed the decoder i had installed and got it running on DC. I sent it back 1-7-2010.
The single motor version came in today. It will become a sound loco with loksound decoder.
I will get the decoder/speaker combo at the Big E show the end of the month.
I followed the Bachmann instructions for returning the loco and they worked. Nice service.
