VIDEO of a passenger run on the Logan Valley. - Chet - 04-14-2015
My son who knows absolutely nothing about model railroading somehow found a Bachmann 2-6-0 and gave it to me for a gift. It is a sound equipped DCC locomotive. I still operate DC only.
He was aware that I do like smaller steam locomotives and got it from somewhere. The detail is decent and it is a very smooth running locomotive, but I did find out that it was a wimp on my 2 percent grades, capable of perhaps 5 cars. I guess I could use it in one of the yards as a switcher but then tried it out in front of a couple of passenger cars. It did manage to pull the grade and nw has a new job.
The little guy is a sound and DCC equipped locomotive, but operating it DC many sound functions were pre progeammed. Needless to day I have no control at all of the sound, but it is an interesting locomotive. Here is a VIDEO of a short passenger run. It is in 1080p.
