I purchased a used spectrum 2-8-0 Bachmam item number 11410. I put a decoder in it and it runs, but probably needs a lub and tuneup. Inside the box cover the number 080808 was stamped.
My question i when was the loco manufactured.
Thank you for any input.
I would like to install a DCC decoder with souynd - is this possible?

A bunch of links I stored. Mostly for the Connie.
Be aware that there have been changes to the Connie by Bachmann at times. Mostly in the tender PC board I believe. Others here will comment on that.
Below is a link for how the Connie looks like now. Your mileage will vary.
