Hello All.....I have a Bachmann N Scale Bachmann 2-8-8-4 B&O EM-1....Is there a plug and play sound mod for this loco?.....Thanks
Not for the N scale model, only for the HO scale, the HO scale version won't fit and is not compatible in case you were wondering.
Any standard N scale sound decoder and appropriately sized speaker will work though.
I had ESU LokSound dcc with sound installed in the two n-scale Bachmann B&O EM-1s I own. I am delighted with the result. I had the ESU speakers installed.
I have had similar "upgrades" done to Bachmann steam locomotives to get the sound feature.
I have a Soundtraxx DCC Sound decoder in mine. It sounds awesome.
The reason I selected ESU LokSound dcc with sound and the ESU speaker is it includes some sounds options that I have yet to find in any other dcc with sound options. One is the rail click sound. :D
The new Tsunami 2 has the rail click . And the whistles are excellent ! Really good motor control too .
I may as well chime in, i use soundtraxx and enjoy them. I have the TSU-750 in three of them and a ESU loco sound in the fourth one. I'm more fond of the Soundtraxx decoders.
That's my 2 cents.
