Title: C-19 VS K27
Post by: mudhen on August 22, 2012, 09:00:06 PM
Does the C -19, new release from Bachmann, have the same mother board and chuff censers as the K 27.
I am thinking of purchasing one and converting to batter power.
If the chuff censers are the same, I will have to make another circuit board for the optics.
Thanks in advance

I think you will find the K-27 was the only loco in the Spectrum series that had the back to front chuff signal.  Which by the way is a very easy fix.
All locos since have had the chuff signal the correct way around.
I would expect Bachmann to stick the updated format for the C-19.

A recent Large Scale club meeting I attended in Brisbane indicated that the C-19 will be very well received. 

As it should be.

It would have been nice if Bachmann had more than just the one version with modern rounded domes and headlight.
