what is the difference between these two locomotives
Just different road numbers.
I saw these two engines on the internet on sale with dcc sound . the 63210 on sale for 69 dollars while the 63205 was much higher
The cheaper one is old stock, and likely on clearance.
does the dynamic brake feature work on bachmann with dcc sound? If so would the unit have a winding sound when operating in muted mode?
The bachmann s4 unit with dcc sound is very nice

Dynamic brake is not a feature of a factory installed Sound Value decoder in a Bachmann HO ALCO S4.
thanks for the info.
Does bachmann have any locomotives with full soundtrax decoders

that is probably because few, if any, alco s2 or s4 units had dynamic brakes. in fact, only a handful of switcher types ever had this feature.

I think all current production HO locomotives only have the Sound Value (limited function) decoders, there have been some in the past in the Spectrum product line with a full featured decoder. Examples would be the 2-6-6-2 (C&O or W&LE), the 4-8-4 N&W J Class among others...
thanks for your help

A
whining sound usual suspect source is dry motor bearings. Place one very small drop of a model train Motor Bearing lube (you can use a model train light gear lube) on each motor bearing. While you are at it, lube all the lube points on the locomotive.
