bachmann ho dcc 0-6-0 saddle tanker
Posted by wdcrvr on Sunday, January 15, 2012 2:42 PM

I am wondering if anyone has any experience with this model that they can share?  1.  Is it a good working model?  2.  Would it be feasible to add sound to this unit and if so, what sound decoder would be recommended?

Thanks

One fellow used an 821101, DSD-090 light steam stuck in the roof of the cab and I
think a 1/2" speaker (810089) up against the fire box door! It can be done with a Tsunami MIcro. Piece of cake for those who know what they are doing.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.

I have one. wonderful locomotive!

I installed sound in it, using a ESU V4 micro that I placed in the cab behind the seats (fits perfectly).

I used two 1/2" speakers mounted in an Isobaric setup. It fits nicely as a replacement of the boiler inside the cab.

Not too difficult to install, just time consuming...... works like a dream, and the sound for the V4 is spectacularly good!!
