Is a Bachmann non-Spectrum HO loco which is DCC and has Tsunami sound an inferior product than one which is Spectrum...Is perhaps the motor not five pole/skewed or no flywheel why it is not a Spectum ? Or is it totally high quality anyway ?
You missed an important item. Exactly WHICH loco? You have got to learn to include details in the post. You can go to the Bachmann site and get all the required info there. I have belong there for a few years. http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/board/index.php Rich
It is an excellent running locomotive, but has less detail than the Spectrum line. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyvcBLSFV8M
OK !! Thats what I thought..But one more question..Is all the valve gear present ? Or is it missing ,say the valve rods and/or reverse gear and only has say, piston rods and side rods ? This I wouldn't want..But if all the 'action' is on her then it's OK with a little less detail ( though I can't imagine what that may be..perhaps no coupler pin lifter, or no glass in the windows ? ) I.E. What is missing, if you know ? Thanks again, Mark in LA....
Do a search on Ebay for the item. There are some great pictures that will answer all your questions about detail. Bob
