I bought this great little 2-8-0. It is a bachmann spectrum series unit. It has dcc on board but, i would very much like to have sound added to it. Also needs just a little service. Can someone direct me to a service/install source? Thanks!!:confused:

There is no doubt for me it is the 4-6-2 k4 from the boston & maine. Era- 1920's 30's. This and the 2-8-0 where the workhorses of the road.

o.k. Guys,i have attempted to put your advises to work. I did the cotton belt box with a dusting of a 30% brown and 70% thinner. Then proceeded with my normal stuff. The gilford box is a work in progress. This one i did some rust spotting let set for 5 min's or so and then used thinner to drag...
