Hey Bach-Man,

Please offer the Dog House, (Brakemans Shanty), found on the Spectrum 2-10-2's tenders, as seperate parts that can be purchased by Kit-Bash Modelers who would like to install them on the tenders of other Spectrum Steam Locomotives. I would purchase 8-10 myself for my Bachmann Light Mountain, (4-8-2) and my Bachmann Consolidations, (2-8-0), and my Bachmann Decapods, (2-10-0), and my Bachmann Ten Wheelers (4-6-0). The Bachmann 2-10-2 Dog House is a very good copy for the Missouri Pacific Lines Steamers Dog Houses.

Thank You for Your Help in this Manner, and Thank You from Missouri Pacific Steam Locomotive Modelers Every Where,

Hello Group,
                     I am having problems with a Blueline HO - UP Big Boy 4-8-8-4. I installed a Digitrax DCC decoder, (the one recommended by BLI), and it runs on my layout with a Digitrax - Super Chief Radio with 8 Amps. The locomotive runs perfect. The headlight and rear light work fine. The problem is the sound, or the LACK OF SOUND. There is a micro-second of sound if you ring the bell, blow the whistle, but thats it. I took the Big Boy to a friends layout with a older Digitrax Chief Radio DCC, and it ran fine with all the SOUNDS of a Big Boy. Took it back home......... same problem, NO SOUND.......... I then took it to the dealer I purchased it from, and ran it on his MRC DCC layout. Perfect sound....?
      I have changed the Digitrax decoder for another one. No help...... I checked the OpSwitches on the Digitrax control module. Nope...not it...........
  I removed the Digitrax decoder and programed the Blueline Sound decoder on the programming track. Re-installed the Digitrax control decoder, and programmed it on the programming track. NO HELP.......... NO SOUND.......
   Any HELP from the group is Greatly Appreciated.
         
           Thanks,
