HO Athearn Standard Turbine of the Union Pacific w/ sound and light kits from Ulrich Models

The incredible new Athearn turbine with the great upgrades from Ulrich Models that give the model life. QSI sound decoder and U.M light kit (CMS LED).
They are quiteeasy to install (the light kit is a bit more complicate).

how can an Athearn loco work on Marklin track? Isn't Athearn for 2 rail not 3 rail track?

@KingBuick

Yes, you are right, the Turbine is DCC but I am modifying it to work on AC track, using my CS2 that is compatible with DCC format.

@mraui12, thanks pal ! ;)

@buzomeu

@tpvalley

yes, real UP turbines had small diesel engine (pony diesel) for yard work.

Anyone know the standard loco address for athearn ?

@FrankTheTank987

Great ! Really ! I just ordered the veranda from MTH, and like you I guess, have Marklin AC ( me + new mobile station DCC compatible). How did you do to put it on AC ? Something to change to the QSI (for DC to AC) or just put a ski + re-wire ? Thank you for the answer and I'll take some shoots of it + my upcoming Marklin BigBoy 4006...
