HO / Adding smoke to a new Bachmann J-class
June 10, 2008, 05:31:37 PM
Anyone have any experience adding smoke to one of the new Bachmann Spectrum HO N&W J-class locos w/ the Soundtraxx sound decoders? I know most modelers are against smoke, at least in HO due to residue left behind and it not being realistic but this is more for fun than realism and its a small layout so cleaning won't be a huge issue. I've tried to contact Soundtraxx but supposedly the wiring on the decoders for these locos is modified slightly by by Bachmann so the points/functions are different.  I was hoping to not have to wire to the motor leads or something as I would like to be able to turn the smoke on/off. The unit I have is a Seuthe smoke unit designed for plastic locos. Any ideas please let me know. Thanks!
