Class J Norfolk & Western N Scale model train with sound

[wwwdew]

What I would suggest, call Bachmann (manufacturer of the Class J) and ask them the size speaker that will fit into the area in the tender.

I'm sorry to say I do not have anyway of telling the speaker size. I originally purchased several different sized speakers & used the one that fit.

Let me know what Bachmann says.

THanks for your interest.

You may also be able to determine size by Bachmann's exploded description.

I love the video. I have this engine and am going to order the tsunami. I sure wish you could go thru your files and post what speaker you put in it. Did you use a round one that fit into the molded spot or did you put one in the top of the tender and drill holes to let the sound out.

I installed the lights in the Wabash passenger cars. They are Kato cars & kato light boards. If you look close you will see a Mars light on the lead Wabash loco pulling the Wabash passenger cars.

Thanks for your interest.

I noticed the lit Cars on the track. Isn't that bad for DCC? Or did you install dcc on the cars?

No built in speaker. THere is a molded place in the tender for a speaker to fit including grill in bottom of tender to let sound out. Look at bottom of tender when you get loco. Check instruction sheet for the speaker size. I forget.

If you have a hobby shop in your area they should be able to help. I live in Tampa, FL not sure where you are.

I am getting on of these for Christmas and I am wondering does it come with the speaker built in. The papers say something about the speaker but I'm new at modeling and have NO idea of what I'm doing.

I love it!

Thanks for your interest.

that is the best running Bachmann I've ever seen.

I forget the size speaker. The tender has a molded area for the speaker. Look at the exploded diagram of the engine & tender & see what size will fit. The bottom of the tender has speaker grill openings so sound is directed downward to the tracks.

what size speaker did u use I am so lookin at geting one of these...do u think it will run on 15 rad track

[trackspike64]

where did u see the number on the package i didnt see 608 but it said for heavy steam , do u have any pics of the package

[wwwdew]

It's the heavy steam decoder. You can adjust equalizer after installing decoder to change sounds a little. Download the manual from their site. It must be 100 pages. Will give you lots of details.

where did u see that number 608 on the package of the sound decoder  i only found a decoder for heavy steam

[wwwdew]
