Caboose's gotta have a say too! sign1

I just purchased my 1st Broadway limited locomotive the AT&SF 3800 class 2-10-2 and have to say its a step up on the Bachmann specturm line. Extremly heavy and with optional traction tires is suppose to pull 80 40ft freight cars on straight and level track. 40 without. Also the QSI sound system...

RTC? .....radio transmitting control , forrunner of DCC maybe....:mrgreen:

Yes that picture is from the FDT website.(only image) I'm sure the only difference is the trailing truck on these two models. sign1

Thanks Chris, I'm seriously thinking of getting one from FDTs ,extremly good looking engine,great sound from what i hear on that little soundbite plus our club layout's southwestern of course here in sunny AZ. Larry.

Anyone Running the BLI AT&SF 3800 class 2-10-2 with DCC & sound? interested in how well it runs and sounds....

One thing that i'm planning to do on mine is to replace the front truck on the tender with a precision scale one. Its rather crude looking to my eyes as old and weary as they are :mrgreen:

Yep' she's a pruty one! heres a better picture of her taking a spin on the turntable on our club layout.

A'yep...All things must come to an end i guess....Oh' i'm not ashamed of my Akane it runs like a swiss watch and will pull just about anything i hang on her tender'....just wish it had a Vestibule like the westside. One day soon i plan on installing a Tsunami heavy steam decoder in it ...maybe...
