HO / DCC Headlight Question
December 10, 2014, 11:41:32 AM
I have a new Baldwin 4-4-0 w/DCC& Sound. It runs perfectly out of the box on the default loco DCC address of 3. However when I program the loco to the new address of 122 the headlight will not function. Experimenting, I went back to the default address (3) and it works fine. I programmed the loco to an address of 22 and it also works fine (all sounds and headlight). I'm sure I'm missing something by going to a four digit address but WHAT? All the sounds work fine and the locomotive runs fine on 122, just no control of the headlight.

HO / Reissue Spectrum 4-6-0s???
January 15, 2013, 12:15:24 PM
Has Bachmann any plans for another run of the Spectrum HO-standard 4-6-0s high and low boiler with factory sound installed?
If so, is there a specific date?

I wound surely purchase a couple.

HO / Steam Tender Sound
January 11, 2013, 01:54:16 PM
Has Bachmann ever considered creating a line of Spectrum steam locomotive tenders with a Tsunami decoder and speaker already installed? I have several Spectrum locomotives that I purchased that could benefit from the great Tsunami sound and it would be very easy to switch out a plug-in tender.

I realize that you currently produce Tsunami decoder sound locomotives now so I can't invision it would be a big jump to create replacement "sound" tenders for 4-6-0s (high and low tender), 2-8-0s, etc.

HO / 2-Trcuk Climax
February 10, 2012, 02:21:39 PM
I have one of the 2-truck Climax locomotives. I hadn't run it a about four years until the other day. It appears that the side rods operate but the gearing to the trucks isn't working. I know from reading the forum that those locomotives had a design problem.

My question is this, is Bachmann now repairing the old 2-truck Climax locos now that they have a 3-truck available if I return it? I really like the small compact size of the 2-truck and it goes well with my mining layout.
