I'm afraid not, but you may be able to adjust the chuff volume to acquire the desired effect. That, momentum, and soundtraxx's dynamic digital exhaust.

Any new HO steam? Anybody?

Thank you very much!!! 

I don't usually trek in this part of the forums, but there probably will be a prototype on display at the 2012 NMRA Convention.

Yardmaster, does this mean that the usual NMRA new item announcements will be posted here on Friday, as well?

RAM, FYI, I am a kid, well, adolescent really, that's just my impatient side showing through, and, Steam Is King, please, tell us more.

Well, its the 29th. Can they tease us much longer?

I, for one would like to see a re-run of the 2 truck Climax with improved gearing, and sound. Also, I would buy a Spectrum Big Six anyday, in a heartbeat. Bachmann could also do WVP&P #12 in 3 and 4 truck versions, and an undecorated one, to boot. Camp cars would be nice, too.

Sorry, I have been busy lately, and haven't had the time to do a search. RAM, is it on this forum or elsewhere? Also, I will post pictures as work progresses, but I have yet to aquire a suitable donor model for a good price.

Hello all, I was wondering just how hard it would be to scratchbuild/kitbash a N&W class K2/K2a, with streamlining. I presume that it could be possible to modify a Bachmann Spectrum class J shell to fit a Bachmann Spectrum USRA 4-8-2 light, or heavy chassis, or, scratchbuild from styrene like in the May 2011 NMRA magazine by using similar techniques, just with a different prototype in mind.

The stock DCC address should be 03. If by codes you mean CV paperwork, Bachmann engines do not come with them.

What would be your opinion of a re-release of the 50-Ton Climax, WITH improved gears, or a 3-truck Heisler, namely, Cass#6. Or a 2 and/or 4-truck Shay. The Heisler could be done in Cass#6, Meadow River#6, Bostonia Coal and Clay Products#20, and undecorated. Two truck shay Could be done in various logging schemes and undec. Four truck shay could be done in C&O#1-4, Western Maryland#900, 5,
Southern#4000-4001, N&W#56/156, WVP&P#13-14.

Don't know if you're still here, but did you remove the stock Bachmann decoder, as the MRC decoder you are speaking of is SOUND ONLY. That means, you need two decoders, one for sound, one for movement. Also, do your other locomotives have the same decoder installed?
