Does Bachmann make a DCC Steam Locomotive that has smoke, sound, and lights already on board?

Yes with everything except the smoke...

Just the 0-6-0. I think the combination of motor, lights, sound and smoke pulls too much electricity so they leave the smoke out of most lokies. If you ask me, that's a good decision.

opps! I forgot the 0-6-0 has DCC now, but it doesn't have sound.

I think of these 4 options you should sacrifice on the smoke...You'll be happier in the long run.

Other posters to the contrary, the Bachmann 0-6-0 does have DCC, sound, lights and smoke.

Hi,

Although the smoke developed is an interesting display when operating your railroad empire for others the residue it deposits over time on the rails is undesirable.  I have several locos from MTH with sound, lights, DCC (DCS), and smoke and have turned the smoke unit permanently off, for the above reason, right out of the box.  With this said, do the Bachmann units have a similar switch which turns off the smoke unit?

All the best.

Reinhard

Not that I am aware of but I have the 0-6-0 descibed above and the smoke has never worked anyway. no great loss.
