When did Bachmann come up with the Spectrum 4-6-2?
If you want a sound decoder with speaker, get a MRC one but those are known to be problematic for some people. There are a couple other options but do not have the info right now.
A SoundTraxx Micro Tsunami medium steam decoder with 28mm speaker would work. I use that one in a 4-4-0 and 4-6-0. You will have to solder the wires to a 8 pin plug so probably not an option.
I have the Spectrum 4-4-0 and Spectrum 4-6-0.
I am wondering if Bachmann is moving all the Spectrums over to the Standard line.
I know the Spectrum 2-8-0 is now in the Standard line.
