Thanks Tim

I just purchased a Bachmann steam loco, with smoke generation. However it does not seem to give off any smoke. I've tried it for ~ 5 min at near full speed.The retailer said it should only work at full voltage. I did not want to run it at full speed for extended periods as I have a few tight curves and turnouts.
Is this correct, does it mean I'll only get smoke when the loco is going full pelt around my layout? The documentation does not mention this as a requirement.
Thanks in advancefor any advice.

I recently purchased a Bachmann Spectrum 0-6-0 saddle tank switcher which is said to be DCC ready. Before I take it apart to add a decoder, does anyone know if it has the socket preinsatlled or will I be doing some soldering?
