Title: Berkshire/Kanawha 2-8-4
Post by: OldTimer on March 04, 2010, 12:56:10 PM
Does anyone who owns a Bachmann 2-8-4 feel like commenting on how you think it runs.  I'm more interested in DCC performance, but DC performance is important, too.  If you are running DCC, are you using a factory decoder install or did you put in a decoder from another source?  Thanks much.

I have the 2-8-4 berk dcc factory installed and it runs fairly well...not as good as the 2-8-0 ran but no complaints...the pilot truck tends to derail every blue moon but still not bad

I put the plug in mine and use it DC

Runs great and is my Flagship for the ME&O
