I have a Spectrum, 2-8-0 HO and it is the older type with light-pipes in it and a filament bulb.
I  know I need a 3mm with proper AC/DC voltage, but I need a proper colors that would be the proper color for those old steamers.
Thanks in advance,
Steve

I know the large scale 2-8-0 DCC Connies have firebox and ash-pan flicker ... so anyone made a modification on a Spectrum HO scale 2-8-0? Surely it is possible. Need directions and/or drawings showing decoder outputs. Tried to find instruction somewhere on line, but unable to do so.
Thanks in advance,
Steve

Have a 2-8-0 HO DCC Spectrum with great sound, but no smoke. Can I add a smoke unit and which type would be recommended?

Would Bachmann universal smoke unit PN-2911 work?

Thanks so much in advance!
Steve

I was hoping to use Bachmann because of the quality and pa past history with Bachmann ...

I am doing a DCC HO layout of the 1948-1953 period in GA with a control system compatible with JMRI. Central of GA or the Georgia Railroad was very big .

Southern was the state of the art train system in the US. They were more innovative than any other system. The beauty of that era, as that it was a time when both diesels and Steam ran side by side. The last steam run on Southern was 1953.

I was wanting to run a steam with freight, a few diesels of that period  to swap out on it. and run a complete Southern Crescent with full DCC also.

I was surprised and disappointed that a search for southern on your site revealed little trains, cars, buildings, typical to that period and era.

Since you do not supply what I am looking for, you are of no use to me or the thousands of modelers int the area that seek to do the same as I.
I guess I will have to order a custom done engine at outrageous prices just to get what I need. I will not deviate from my objective that most other modelers in the area seem to do.

Added 1\29\09:  No sarcasm or insult were intended...just frustrating to find that no one ever has what any of us really need. Seems like others have a similar story in other forums....

So here is an idea...whey don't they just make the engines and cabooses in basic color schemes and include a decal set for all the different rail companies that used that engine. It would allow a greater variety but at a cheaper cost to the manufacturer??? Everyone could get what they needed and with a reduced inventory for manufacturers. Or would that be to simple?

The basic color schemes are difficult to do at home and make it look professional and realistic. It would be relative easy to change the colors of horns, handrails, and and decals.

Can I get feedback on that??

EZ is not listed as computable hardware nor in the drop down menu list.
Does anyone have a workaround?

Or should I get a controller in the list???
