bachmann 63205 and bachmann 63210

[fzip]

what is the difference between these two locomotives

[ACY]

Just different road numbers.

[fzip]

I saw these two engines on the internet on sale with dcc sound . the 63210 on sale for 69 dollars while the 63205 was much higher

[ACY]

The cheaper one is old stock, and likely on clearance.

does the dynamic brake feature work on bachmann with dcc sound? If so would the unit have a winding sound when operating in muted mode?

[fzip]

The bachmann s4 unit with dcc sound is very nice

Dynamic brake is not a feature of a factory installed Sound Value decoder in a Bachmann HO ALCO S4.

thanks for the info.

Does bachmann have any locomotives with full soundtrax decoders

Dynamic brake is not a feature of a factory installed Sound Value decoder in a Bachmann HO ALCO S4.

that is probably because few, if any, alco s2 or s4 units had dynamic brakes. in fact, only a handful of switcher types ever had this feature.

Does bachmann have any locomotives with full soundtrax decoders

I think all current production HO locomotives only have the Sound Value (limited function) decoders, there have been some in the past in the Spectrum product line with a full featured decoder. Examples would be the 2-6-6-2 (C&O or W&LE), the 4-8-4 N&W J Class among others...

A whining sound usual suspect source is dry motor bearings. Place one very small drop of  a model train Motor Bearing lube (you can use a model train light gear lube) on each motor bearing. While you are at it, lube all the lube points on the locomotive.
