Go to a local electronics shop they probably carry the male and female pugs. Any piece of twin flex lamp cord will do for the cable and make your own. Simple.

If you really gotta have it..... Twenty or twenty-five bucks would be a reasonable offer.

It also shows that no one knows anything about railroads anymore compared to the past when railroads were a part of life in most places. You could make a train with all the ridiculous car names. The choo choo is up front pulling the refer cars, the tankers, the coal cars, the cattle cars, the platform cars ...... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 .... what else?

Looks like you have to buy a chassis to get the modern cylinder block. Unfortunately the removable part of the 4-6-0 dome is only the upper half. You have to grind the bottom off, then install 4-4-0 domes which are removable in their entirety. Fortunately the Bach Man has a goodly supply of boiler shells for both engines to practice on and cannibalize for parts. The 2-6-0 bell is a really funky part compared to other Bachmann engines. Save a good one off the other boiler shells. You can also get injectors and water feed lines to help out the 2-6-0.

Back on topic: the 2-6-0 and 4-6-0 are excellent engines for such railroads.

Well then, you need a headlight dimming function!
My railroad is a 20 mile shortline run. Our rules are a lot "looser"!😂. Read "Extra South " by H. Reid. You'll get the drift.

Yes Roger I also like prototypical operation of prototypical equipment. I just like all the sounds there. Unlike you though I like them LOUD 😱💥💥☄️😂.
The steam engines I've been in, seems like most of them did have ability to dim the headlight. But I believe those dimming switches are a later modern era affectation. Look at steam era photos. None of the daytime photos show headlights on until almost the very end of steam. Diesels started the daytime headlight thing because they were operationally very quiet compared to steam engines, people didn't hear them coming.

For people who've not spent time around and on steam engines, Sound Value is fine. If you like all your engines to have sound turned on all the time, sound value is fine.
I have a different opinion.
