I'm seriously considering purchasing a Bachmann On30 4-6-0 w/ DCC/Sound. Anyone here have any experience with this engine? How does it run? How does it sound? Etc. It'll likely be running on ME On30 c/83 flextrak with #5 turnouts and 24" to 30" curves, no grades. Any input will be appreciated!

Len,

I love my 4-6-0, and really like how you dressed up yours. Why aren't you posting over in the on30 forum?

Len,

Lovely weathering job with that 4-6-0, very subtle and looks just right.

Cheers,

Stephen

you'll soon love on30 :D nice work

Some lettering, a shot of Dullcote and some pastels and...



I think I'm going to like On30...
Len Turner Posted - 06/12/2012 : 5:59:07 PM
Thanks everyone! I got mine yesterday and ran it around the HO layout. Very smooth, good low speed and handled the 24" curves and #4 & #6 turnouts OK. I have a couple of HO diesels with sound, but this is the first steamer with it. Love it! Thanks again folks!

The whaleback should look pretty good behind it. I did the model for Keith Wiseman, and run a whaleback behind my 2-4-0 and it looks good. I think Wiseman still sells them...

I got one for my birthday and am awaiting its arrival. I want to get one of the Backwoods Miniatures whaleback tender kits, but they haven't answered my emails yet.

Unpacked mine today and it runs great on code 83 and 22" radius curves. It creeps along; I am watching it now... it has moved 4 feet in 45 minutes. I bet it does better after I break it in. It is a big engine, bigger than anything I run but I know it ran on the White
Pass so mine will go in for a repaint so it can interchange with my T&ML RR.

I have one and it runs great, like the Connie, its heavy enough for great pickup and runs the rails well. I run on code 83, with 95 percent of my curves are 20-22" radius, and a short section is 18ish. I use #5 handmaid switches. I did not get sound with mine when I purchased it, I installed Tsunami 10000 decoder afterwards, and used a K-Class decoder because I like the sound effects.

Thanks Folks!

Runs Great, will handle your curves without issue. First one I got a couple years ago I took it out of the box for the first time at one of our On30 shows and it ran ALL DAY perfectly never derailed, never missed a beat.

Very heavy engine and a perfect runner.

Personally I prefer the Zimo sound to the Soundtraxx/Tsuinami that comes with it.

I have one in the mail in its way to me and run on me code 83 so I can let you know in a couple of days.
