I see my two posts have been moved.  Moved to where?  Pretty disappointed in Bachmann customer service, like pulling teeth.  We are not all model railroad experts and pardon me for asking simple questions after spending a couple hundred dollars on a Bachmann product. The information that comes with the locomotive is ridiculous, No specs, voltages etc. and when you have a question as Smokey did noone answers. Why the big secrets on decoders?  No info on how to disassemble to install electronics. Took me several hours of research on the right way to take the cover off the tender.  The diagrams that came with the engine are worthless unless you need a part. Bad enough you outsource to China, at least you can improve on your products paperwork!

Quote from: Old Sarge on April 19, 2021, 03:25:22 PMWhat DCC Sound Decoder does Bachmann recommend for the Baldwin 4-6-0 w/52" drivers?  I have a new one that is DCC ready that replaced an older one which could not be repaired.  I cannot find anything on which decoder Bachmann uses when the same engine comes equipped with a DCC sound decoder.  Also, is it plug and play?
Good question!!
Any answers would be appreciated.  Bachmann Rep??

Thanks.  Yes, pretty bare bones.  Trying to figure out how to get to the socket area in the tender.  Is there and easy way to open up the tender?  I have the diagram but not much help.

Hello,I have one of the above on the way.  Two questions; does it have a speaker for sound?  Does Bachmann have a decoder for it?  Thank you.
