Which Bachmann Steam Locos are manufactured to support a sound installation

[Paul-H]

Hi all

 

Whilst their website is being rebuilt I can't check this so

 

Are their any Bachmann Steam Locks that are manufactured to support a sound decoder and speaker.

 

I know of one the Ivatt 2 tank, which takes a Next18 decoder and has a proper location made in factory for a speaker with installation instructions included, but are there any others in their range.

 

I know they do this with many of their Diesels but what about Steam.

 

Thanks

The main clue is a 21 pin socket. On steam locos that's only fitted in the tender of tender locos, and from what I have seen those tenders with 21 pin sockets have an internal layout that includes a speaker location.

 

Whether it is universal I have no idea, but it looks as though the Next18 socket is used in the same way in tank engines. The V3 2-6-2T has Next18, and an internal layout that provides for a simple sound decoder and speaker installation, with outline instructions on the accompanying documentation.

 

Hattons' site is a good substitute for manufacturer infromation, as far as what they have in stock is concerned.

Thanks for the reply

 

Hope Bachmann get their "New" Site up and running soon, never did understand the logic of taking the old one down before its replacement is ready, hope someone got a good talking to over that one.
