General Discussion / Bachmann DCC 0-6-0 ?
March 10, 2014, 05:59:15 PM
I just bought THE NEW AND LATEST version of Bachmann 0-6-0 steam switcher with "DCC". I took out everything from the tender which was the 3 flat weights, and the "tender/chassis" attachment post. The tender is completely hollow now. I would like to install a Tsunami 750 "micro" sound decoder in this engine. I'll have NO problem putting the decoder and speaker in the tender. All the 7 wires for this decoder are already hooked up to the decoder (about 6" long). I plan to run these wires through a hole in the front of the tender (1/8" dia.) into another hole in the back of the engine (1/8" dia.). I then plan to cover all these wires with a piece of heat shrink tubing, from the tender to the engine. What I'm wondering now is: Will I be able to hook up the 7 decoder wires, to the "inside" of the engine? Here again, it's Bachmann's latest, 2014 version of this 0-6-0 switcher, AND IT COMES EQUIPPED WITH DCC. I know with their pre-DCC 0-6-0 switcher, hooking up this decoder to it wasn't feasible. I'm hoping that with this new one, it is. Is there anyone out there (including BACHMANN) who can answer my question? Thanks!  -artguy
