Not sure about that particular Bachmann loco, but I saw a Bachmann Spectrum 2-8-0 at the hobby shop last week which was DCC equipped. The shop owner ran it on the DC part of the store layout (he knows that I'm a DC user), and it ran well. Not only that, but it was sound-equipped - not something that I've ever really wanted (after almost 40 years in a steel mill, I've had about enough sound
), but the sound quality was very impressive: realistic steam engine chuffing, and a very solid-sounding bell and whistle effect, the latter two triggered, I think, by throttle position. I'm tempted to buy one, just to amuse the Grandkids.
