DCC ready

[Sloopy]

I am looking for a small HO scale, DCC ready, smoke, steam locomotive in the neighborhood of
a 2-4-0 or 2-6-0. Does Bachmann have any of these available?  I have the Soundtraxx 1100 decoder
and just need a loco to install it into. Thanks.

2-4-0?

Most serious model railroaders recommend against using smoke units in Model locomotives. The smoke is completely unrealistic, and it settles over everything in the room, leaving a greasy film.

A search through Bachmann's catalog should reveal the few engines that do come with smoke, and whether or not they are DCC ready.

Hi Sloopy,

Of our currently available DCC Ready steam locomotives, our smallest available models are the Baldwin 4-6-0 and 4-4-0 American. Please note that neither of these models are equipped with smoke.

We have two steam locomotives equipped with smoke, the 2-6-2 Prairie and USRA 0-6-0, but these locomotives are only available with DCC pre-installed or DC control only.
