Bachmann does not make any HOn30 locomotives.

Bachmann partners with Soundtraxx for their sound-equipped locomotives, if you want to add one of theirs you want the TSU-750 Light Steam module along with a speaker and baffle kit.

It doesn't look like Soundtraxx puts the 8-pin decoder plugs on their modules, you'll need to wire one up yourself if your Forney has the socket.

An aside,

The SoundTraxx TSU-750 is a sound decoder, it is not a sound module.   

SoundTraxx builds a decoder for Bachmann that is factory installed in some Bachmann locomotives, which accepts a plug in sound module.   Example is the Bachmann Spectrum On30 Heisler
