Do you have any pictures on the updates you could share? That is what I want to explore. Use the Aristo  craft smoke unit in the past, but it is no longer available. Have to find another source. Thanks.

Have a first gen. Climax and two truck Shay. Have been out of the trains for 5 years or so. Wife went to be with the Lord. Back into the trains to keep busy. What has changed in the 5 years? Many improvements by Bachmann in the Shay and Climax. Parts are easy available and at a acceptable price. The new "die cast" replacement trucks are so much better. My old trucks, the plastic is so hard it is has cracks. The wheels on the die cast do not get dirty in 30 minutes of run time and need cleaning, like the old wheels.

The new 3 truck shay is a very cool machine. The C-19 is a work of art. What a huge beauty.

What has not changed, the terrible smoke unit. Switched it out in my older units. Looks like I will have to on the new units. It throws smoke oil all over the engines. Makes a real mess. Yes, using the included smoke oil that comes with the engines. With all the cool improvements seems the horrible smoke unit has been over looked.

Bachmann how about reinventing your smoke unit to bring it up the the excellent standards you have for the new engines?

Had to order the booster from Soundtraxx to get the decoder to program. Booster works well. Did not need a booster on the other sound cards I have, but you do with Soundtraxx.

Thanks Stan. Found it. Now to get it to accept programing. Refuse to show up on the computer using Decoder Pro. Not sure what the problem is.

Trying to set address etc on new 3 truck shay. Pull top of rear tender and there is no decoder. By everything I have seen the decoder is suppose to be the the big rear tender. Only a speaker and 2 big weights.

What gives, where is the decoder and how came this is not according to publish information???
