B&M RS3

[Billm10454]

I just received my Bachmann B&M RS3 with sound. I am really impressed with the sound and how it runs. The price is also very good. I have other switchers with sound that cost a lot more but I would say the Bachmann is equal to them.

Having been born and brought up in the Boston area, I spent some time at the BET of the B&M there, and watching the four Scherzer bridges operate.
The RS-3 paint scheme was and is a beautiful one.  most of my collection is steam, and the new Bachmann 2-6-0s with the BM herald wound up in my menage-as triplets.  Much time was spent watching B&M steam as well as diesel, ply the North Shore as well as the Mass. interior.

RS3      does it have options of different horn sounds.    i have  several of the FA  with sound   each one has a different horn that i selected on the CVs  there great.      There is one i really love  its the DCC Sound-Equipped EMD DD40AX Centennial.     very impressed there   i like to start that one   hear one engine start then the other  bachmann kick that one out of the park   along with the EM1 2-8-8-2  sound ready with the sound decoder that you buy seperate i love the sound of that also and so easy to install the sound.   whished they did that with the 2-6-6-2.
now just save up for the RS3  and see how that runs and sounds.

Dave   Happy sounds away

According to the JMRI software there are 3 different horns. I can't recall the names of them though. Whiz Kid I also live and grew up in Massachusetts. I live 5 miles north of Boston.
