Question for the Bach Man:
What sound system will the next group of Pacifics have? Soundtraxx sound value? Or TCS Wow sound?
Hi trainman,
Our newest run of USRA Pacifics (item #s 52901-03) will be DCC Ready and will not be decoder or sound equipped out of the box. We don't have any immediate plans for another run of DCC Sound models, but we'll make sure to specify which decoder we use if we announce a new run.
That's unfortunate about no more sound, I'm disappointed. I myself like to install high end full-featured Soundtraxx decoders but I always buy engines that already have sound that I can run for awhile before paying a tech to do an install.
I have plenty of steam engines, nearly all Bachmanns and good performers, but there's always room for another. I was looking at the upcoming ATSF Pacific No. 1344 as a companion to the one I already have, the 1385. But it may wait a while now.
