P2K 0-6-0 DCC/Sound
Posted by mreagant on Tuesday, February 3, 2009 8:31 PM

In P2K  0-6-0 locos, is the DCC/Sound in the tender?  If so, would it be difficult to move the sytem to a generic Vandy tender.

Thanks,

Mike

Mike,

Yes, the decoder and speaker would be in the tender.  The electrical pickups are on the tender, as well.  If the Vandy tender can be opened/modified so that you can install everything, I don't see why not.

Thanks, guys.  It may be a project I'll try to tackle.  I'm trying to get a close example of the Baldwin 0-6-0 that served as the yard goat for Dallas Union Terminal into the early '60s.  The only one I'm aware of that exists is a brass Sunset SP S-12 from the 1970s (I think) and everytime one comes up for sale someone else beats me to it.
