Good news. Had to switch two wires (the motor connections) on the PCB and now the 2-10-0 runs correctly.
Haven't tried it with any other locomotives. ;D

HO / Bachmann Spectrum Vanderbilt Tender PN89901

What locomotive in the Bachmann Spectrum line can use this tender?  I tried a 2-10-0 but the wiring is reversed from its normal tender causing the locomotive and lights to not work correctly. Are there any others????

How do you open up the Locomotive? I looked it over and don't see any screws that would allow me to open up the boiler. Help.

HO / Using a sound decoder on a DC layout
November 20, 2007, 10:45:39 AM
The Suffolk Station Museum in Suffolk, VA wants to add sound to one of its HO scale Bachmann 2-8-0 Consolidations that is DCC ready. Here’s the problem, the layout is straight DC and they do not want to convert over to DCC as they only run one locomotive at a time on a single line main with two automated reversing loops. What would be needed is a decoder that is “plug and play” and a controller to trigger the bell,  whistle, etc. The controller should not be effected by locomotives that don’t have a decoder. Also the controller must be usable with as many brands of sound decoders as possible as they might have locomotives donated that would have different brands of sound decoders. I maintain the layout for the museum and have experience with DCC and sound (limited) on my home layout. For example I have a Roundhouse 4-4-0 American with sound that works on my home layout (DCC) and on the Station's layout (DC) and uses a wireless controller. I don't know who made the sound decoder in this locomotive.
