Interesting. I have been kinda thinking about doing it as an RGS loco instead. However, I know that the D&RGW ran Class T-12 ten wheelers. For example, there's the #168 that was recently restored to running condition, and another survivor (#169) that is on static display in Alamosa,Co.
At one time ,the D&RGW boasted a total of 12 Class #12 ten wheelers numbered from #166 to #177.Nine of the others have been scrapped, while one was wrecked, and later scrapped. My information indicates that the tender is still at the wreck site,in the trees below the track.
My information source: http://www.drgw.net/info/T-12
Do I need to buy the Bachmann sound module,or just the T-1000?
Thanks!

Hi,again! I just picked up this little beauty from an on-line retailer for an incredible $69.99 (plus $9.99 Shipping) . It is a brand new Bachmann #28657 Spectrum On30 Baldwin 4-6-0 Steam Loco - DCC on Board, Greenbrier & Big Run Lumber Company.
I plan on relettering it for the Rio Grande.
My question is this: What do I need to buy to add sound to this model?
Thanks!

Thanks,Terry. That gave me few parts numbers to search for. Unfortunately, nobody seems to have the whistle that's more like the factory installed version. There's a standard, single chime whistle on Ebay, so I'll probably order that for now.

Hello. I am new here . I recently bought the above described On30 locomotive and tender on Ebay. It's missing the smoke stack and the whistle. I didn't see either part available on the Bachmann parts site,so I'm wondering if anybody here might be able to help me to find replacement parts.
I found a C&S Mogul style "Bear Trap" with spark arrester on Ebay :

Does anybody know if that would be a god fit?
I can't find a whistle, so , am I just out of luck getting that part, or does anyone have a suggestion?
Thank you!
