Thanks for your input.

Sounds like a Shay to me.  1-2-3-1-2-3.  Hopefully the Bachmann application will be the same.

Does the ho shay with tsunami sound have the proper 3 cylinder beat?

Who would buy it?  I would, for one.  Small layout, small locomotives, low speeds, high detail, but I'm not into the electronics, yet I love the different engine sounds.

Don't forget one of the most important issues - on a high nose you don't have to crawl to get to the toilet.

Thanks. I realize speaker size will be an issue.  On the diagram they show the air tank assembly as a speaker location.  Any thoughts?

Anybody managed to put sound in a 45 tonner?  Also, any problems over insulated frogs?

Do the Spectrum 4-6-0 and 4-4-0 have belt drives like the 2-8-0?

Thanks.

So, the sound equipped models are the "new" ones?

Any pix of these?

The new cabooses are listed as oxide brown and oxide red in unlettered.  What color are the freight cars considered to be?

Thanks, ER
