Thaks for all the replies! I doubt I would buy any more Bachman engines, but I have a few now, so now I know better. That said, at least I can get them upgraded without too much hassle. I do prefer my BLI engines... oh yeah... :cool:
Hello, I have a couple of the budget Bachman RS3 units that are DCC only. Any good / better / best way to add sound to the stock DCC in these things? I have not openend them up yet to see what they have inside...
My new BLI Hudson was kind of weird, but as I looked into it, I found I had not quite seated the wire plug from the tender into the engine... :eek: Worked great after using a small flat screwdriver to seat the plug... :cool: But that's just a newbie error for guys like me, aint it?

BLI Pic...
Thanks RCShadow! I really did love the look of the old FZ series. I had an FZ750 waaay back in the day. I have some video from the Coopersville and Marne scenic railway... I rode in the cab of an old SW9(?). Track speed was limited to TEN mph. It was a long way to Marne from Coopersville at that...
Small and slow? Well, that's ok; it is just a switcher after all... ;) My layout won't be that big and if I want faster, I'll just pull out the BLI F7 or Hudson... And if that doesn't work, my CBR600F2 takes care of my need for speed...:eek:
I saw this deal Sunday... BLI SW7 PRR for $129.99 .... :eek: Oh yeah... Modeltrainstuff only had ONE in stock and now they have none! :D Should be here about Thursday.
I had some old DC stuff way back somewhere in my early youth. I love computers and this digital age in which we live; no way I would run DC! I am starting the Mackinac Division on the right track... I am sure I will have questions as things progress... :)
New from BLI on the Mackinac Division engine roster...
A J1E Hudson... great deal at my favorite online store, modeltrainstuff.com
An F7A BLI Blueline engine, new in box, found waiting for me on Ebay... :)
Put in a Digitrax DZ143PS and it ran flawlessly... :cool: The Ebay tip came...
