Does the dynamo sound stay on after its turned on, in videos ive seen the headlight on but no dynamo sound. If im correct i hear that one of the functions mutes the sound or something. Can anyone clarify.

Dont care if it has an effect or not but is it at least illuminated?

Did bachmann really make the above in HO? I was on walthers and they listed i think 3, labled as 80ton c class climaxes, and the product numbers dont seem to be from shays? However i cant find any photos? Can anyone clairfy this?

One of my firends is taking a Visual programming class (in other words, he will be able to make basic pc programs). So we have this idea to make bascially what would be a PC version of the MRC Soundstation http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/500-312 . Oh course with this you could import your own sounds to suit your layout needs .All you would need is to place a few pc speakers under the layout and run them to your desktop and or laptop. We havent started yet though (im in charge of getting some of the included sounds, my friend is gonna do most of the programming  ) and we probally wont start till late this month or early april. And of course it will be free (though donations are welcome    )

Today I got my 2-10-2 finnaly and I noticed it runs pretty jittery (as in shaking the train back and forth) Its only got about less than an hour run time so far. Is this normal for the 2-10-2 and will hopefully subside after some more running? I havent gotten a bachmann steamer in over a year and I dont remember this sort of behavoir as much with my 2-8-0.

Other than that Im very happy with it 

Can anyone tell me the minimum radius of the bachmann 2-10-2.

Can anyone offer their opion on the bachmann 0-4-0t? (specifically DCC instalation) Walthers has them on sale for about $50 and I wanted to get back into on30. I dug my 2-6-0 out a few days ago to see why it wouldn't run properly. Turns out the gear is split    . (plus some of the detail parts have broken off, and all 4 tender step are gone)  Adding to that. But the passenger cars are fine. Right now im dissasembling the 2-6-0 for parts (i plan on putting its dynamo on the porter, possibly also the number plate)  Anychance anyone could provide a photo of the porter coupled to some passenger cars?

Thanks,

It always made me wounder, are E-Z mates just Mchenry Couplers made under the bachmann name? They are exactly the same in design and color. Can anyone provide an answer?

Can drywall board be used for a layout, my dad has a ton left over in the basement from when we finsed part of it off for my grandma.

Finnaly got around to creating a site for my shortline (still need to make a new one for my CSX stuff) Let me know what you think.  please sign the guest book
