This HO scale United States Railroad Administration light 4-6-2 Pacific from Bachmann Trains models a hard-working passenger hauler that served until the end of the steam era. Part of the Bachmann SoundValue line, this HO scale model includes a SoundTraxx dual-mode decoder. See and hear the SoundValue HO scale USRA light Pacific in action on the Model Railroader staff’s HO scale Milwaukee, Racine & Troy model train layout as it hauls a pair of Bachmann HO scale 72-foot heavyweight passenger cars.

The Bachmann Trains HO scale steam locomotive features a SoundTraxx dual-mode decoder
Forget the steam engine…I want to know what the MRT is gonna do about that dead Holstein keeled over on its side and lookin pretty stiff in the cow pasture. LOL
ugh the un-synchronized exhaust kills me…
Anyone know the what would a good setting of CV 116 to provide 4 chuffs per revolution at speed ? Thanks
The exhaust seemed to be roughly 6:1. Is this a rare 3-cylinder Pacific?
Could the exhaust chuffs be tweaked a bit. giving these sounds a quick crescendo and decrescendo /quill effect would give it a softer sound. I would suggest Bachman market a version with assembled mechanism but do no attach the individual details, so we could kit bash easier. I cringe a destroying a nice paint application. Many thanks.
The exhaust sound seems badly out of sync with the drivers or is it just my imagination?
Sounds and looks good. I only hope the gap between the tender deck and the cab deck can be made shorter. It looked awfully long in the shots.
Sure hope the engine has an automatic stoker as it seems to be quite a reach for the fireman just to get to the deck of the tender. Sound isn’t too bad, but I wonder what the “growling” noise is when the engine is either idle or drifting downgrade.
