banta wood On30 cabs

[willis]

hi all,
i am trying to find dealers that sell banta On30 wood cabs for the bachmann engines.
i tried search, all i can find is buildings? 
i would like to support a hobby shop if possible, there are none in my area.
thanks, willis.

Willis - did you try Caboose Hobbies?
They do have some in stock when I recall it right from my last visit...

Otherwise - get in touch with Bill Banta directly - you can buy from him directly too!


Cheers, Tom

I bought my direct from banta, I think a specialty item like these are not kept in stock
at very many LHS's

Bill's a great guy to deal with.   He's at a lot of the shows here and has some great deals at times.
Buy direct and he'll get all the profit.

Here's one of my porters with an all weather cab, really changes the look of the porter

[willis]

NM, that's what i am going for, so i can put sound/motion decoder in it.
dang, i wish i had seen the ad for the sound equipt one before i ordered mine.
oh well stuff happens .
later, willis.

This unit has a decoder, No sound though, adding decoders to these is a real pain. I wont do it again, I'm just going to wait for the sound units, I could spice a sound decoder to the wires in the cab but I figured I would wait to see how the new porters sound before I buy a tsunami for this one.

The new ones are using and exciter instead of a speaker.
Take a look at this from another forum http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=300-379
Not sure how it'll work with the Banta cab but others have had good results, and it fits.
