Running Session of Bachmann ATSF Alco 2-6-0 and BLI Paragon 2 ATSF 2-8-2

[tenabob]

Great video and layout. I got my Bachmann Alco 2-6-0 for about $110 and the Bachmann E-Z command for $70, slightly used. Love it.. It has "sound value", just the chuff, bell, long and short whistle and steam release, but I love it!!

@4202EJW Actually, Alco did make 2-6-0's. He was right. (I googled it) I think apologies are in order...

awsome video bro how were you able to quill ur whiste on your broadway limited steamer tho

[atsf3415dbr]

@Railroadkid1937 Well, it's kind of complicated, you have to do some special programming thing to the NCE remote (it says how to do it in the manual for BLI Paragon 2 engines), and then you move the thumbwheel while blowing the whistle and it quills it.

i like your steamers, im not a fan on DCC especially BLI engines they charge wayy to much

[atsf3415dbr]

@TheDeputation Thanks! What do you mean by "charge"?

[TheDeputation]

@atsf3415dbr their models are wayy to expensive, you get the ssame drive mechanisms as u would for a regular old DC unit, but they think addign sound makes it worth $200-$300 more than it should, to me DC units should only be $50-150 and DCC units be only $150-250

[atsf3415dbr]

@TheDeputation I see.
