Hi
Does anybody know if Bachmann ever intends to bring out a range of large gauge spectrum coaches in the 1:20.3 scale, ether in the 2015 catalogue or sometime in the near future.
We have had a number of spectrum locos and 1:20.3 scale freight cars for a couple of years now but have been looking to add a line of coaches to our collection, preferably of the WP&Y style.

If Bachmann are not going to bring out 1:20.3 scale coaches we might go for ones from the big haulers range (although these are the wrong scale), unless anyone knows where you can get hold of 1:20.3 scale coaches by any manufacturer.
Regards

Hi
My dad recently purchased a second hand spectrum consolidation, can someone answer some technical questions on the loco.
Later this year we are looking to fit the loco with a DCC decoder + sound, but we are having difficulties in working out which screws and parts need to removed, and how, to get access to the main electrics within the firebox. We downloaded the drawings but are still at a loss as to which bits to disassemble not wanting to force any of it apart and damage it.
Any suggestions please?

We also purchased some new box cars etc. at the same time, these were factory shipped with the straight coupler fitted but the loco and some other second hand rolling stock had the offset couplers fitted, so we re-fitted the new rolling stock to the offset couplers for immediate use.
Soon I will be purchasing a new 2-6-6-2 and rolling stock which I assume will all be factory shipped with the straight coupler fitted, can someone confirm?
We are probably going to switch everything back to straight couplers and buy spares for the 2nd hand rolling stock.
My problem is I don't know how to go about fitting a straight coupler to the front of the consolidation as this is a nonstandard mounting, the tender just has one of these mounting pockets which is easy to do, does anyone know the part numbers for a straight front coupler?
Thanks
Trevor

Hi
I am trying to find DCC sound decoders that are compatible with the K-27 & Baldwin 2-6-6-2 plug n play socket, without needing any modification to loco or decoder.

I was looking at the SoundTraxx Tsunami 826610 TSU-BA4000 (not out yet) that is being built for the C-19.
Does anyone know if the plug n play socket on the C-19 is both physically & electrically the same as the K-27 & Baldwin 2-6-6-2.

Also does anyone know the speaker size that the K-27 & Baldwin 2-6-6-2 was designed to take.
