Hello,

I know of no sound car for On30, but see http://www.pacificcoastairlinerr.com/,
especially the page http://www.pacificcoastairlinerr.com/mogul_tsunami/.

There is a detailed description for install a DCC sound decoder in a Bachmann DC 2-6-0 mogul like yours.

The pack #25003 Pennsylvania with a passenger train is a treasure. It was one of the first three items, when Bachmann started with On30 in 1998.   
(#25001 Wonderland Express, #25002 Colorado & Southern)

Hello,

thank you all for the information about the C&S decals.

Nevertheless, I wish more Colorado & Southern locomotives and cars from Bachmann.


Railexpert

Hello

Also I have begun with some locos and cars with the Colorado & Southern sign and numbers. Since 2004 I have my own free-form C&S Railway. A long time Bachmann delivered items with this logo. Meanwhile has only the Rocky Mountain Express C&S lettering. Apart from that it is difficult to get exact models from C&S prototypes, it is more difficult to get inexpensive C&S narrow gauge decals for On30.

Bachmann, you can make C&S decals for your old customers, so they can label the non C&S locos and cars???

Or better sell locos and cars lettered with C&S!!!!  If it is possible also according to real C&S exemplars!!!

Hello

Meanwhile I was in Cuba. It is great, but the most of the steam locos are only displayed on streets and places, because the sugar plantations are mostly claused. Only a few locos are steaming. There whole railway traffic is very small. In Habana there is a railway museum in the old "Cristina" station with standard and narrow gauge locos and cars. Cuba is a beautiful country with poor, but nice People, good rum and cigars.

Hello,

There is only one high volume manufacturer for On30 rolling stock in the world: Bachmann.
The Bachmann models have exclusively prototypes from US loco builders.
Also the small-series producers for On30 are predominant in the USA.

Therefore is the USA the biggest market for On30.
   
Too the O scale market in the USA is compared with the rest of the world the biggest one.

Hello

The relaxation between the United States and Cuba are good news for Narrow Gauge Fans. In Cuba are hundreds of American NG locos in service or displayed. I want go there und visit the railroads.
Search at YouTube for Cuban railway and you will find many examples.

Hello,

a good source to get American rail literature (books, magazines and DVD) in Europe is http://www.spv.co.uk/railroading.shtml in the UK with low S&H costs.

Railexpert

Hello,

that French railway is called "Le P'tit train de la Haute Somme". It's a successor from a former WWI military railway in a 600mm NG. They have European steam engines and also some Diesel locos from the USA.
