Yes, the Bachmann 2-8-0 with the new sound decoder as per the new Alco 2-6-0 would do well in the market place.
As others have mentioned it is a great little engine.

Your not alone. My new ALCO 4-6-0 is a little short on the pulling power. My other 4-6-0 and 4-4-0 have twice the pulling power up a 3.7% grade. It is what it is. Now the ALCO S4 is another story. Almost unstoppable.

Quote from: florynow on March 29, 2012, 10:19:28 PMWhere do you get your information? The Spectrum steam engines with the Tsunami sound were never mentioned by Bachmann as being phased out and a replacement sound decoder brought in.
This may have been asked before ..... forgive me for being repetitious if so.
The "DCC/sound" systems (with all the sounds that engines make instead of "some"of them) that came in the 2-8-0, 2-10-0 and 4-4-0 ............. will they ever come back? Or is "sound-value" the way of the future?
Simple question. Just a need to know.
