Even if noted as running well, it is always advisable to do a proper clean and lube before extensive running as dust, old lube, aged rubber, etc all need attention. Specific comments for this item follow below. Tested and running well, with what I believe is esu dcc sound, but the screw to open the tender is stripped. Has a suger cube speaker, as can be seen from the crack in the shell near the front. (As shown) Startup is function 8, so I also think this is esu. Weathered nicely, a little dirty too. Some semi-detached detail bits, see pics! This is a general description for these locos. They have all been in storage some time, and so will require a service. Some have dirty wheels, and so are intermitant, but motors etc are all working fine. You will need to give them a service before running, you cannot just put these on your layout and expect them to go perfectly. You will get what you see, if you don’t see it then it isn’t included. If not sure, please ask me. In particular, if I don’t show or state there is a box, or battery, etc then there isn’t. Please don’t assume there is.

Even if noted as running well, it is always advisable to do a proper clean and lube before extensive running as dust, old lube, aged rubber, etc all need attention. Specific comments for this item follow below. Tested and fully working with full dcc sound, I believe it is a tsunami decoder. This has been test run only. This is a MODERN version, NOT an older black box model. The modern black box + dcc sound versions are the MOST detailed bachmann spectrum has made, and are their top locomotives. Green box (Dcc fitted, good detail). Red box (Dcc fitted, better detail). Blue box (Dcc sound, good detail). Gold Box (Dcc sound, better detail). Black Box Dcc sound, prof.

Here is another mth challenger. I bought this as a project but I simply have too much to do, and so its up for sale. The original mth decoder has been REMOVED, and a tcs wow sound decoder installed instead. Sadly this decoder doesnt work now, and so it will need to be replaced. This was done via hard-wiring and so will need some soldering etc. Lights smoke etc not checked/may not be installed.. Motors are present and likely work, they usually dont stop functioning! Smoke deflectors need to be glued back on. The piece which connects the loco and tender is slightly loose but this is since the old mth connector board used to run on that. A nice project, a great loco too. This WILL NOT WORK as-is.

Bachmann H0 Scale No. 11322 GS4 4-8-4 Southern Pacific War Baby steam loco in its original box and packing. Made in China by Bachmann. Equipped with a smoke unit for realistic running. I have tested the loco and it runs well but has not been run on a layout. The loco is in as new (near mint) condition with no damage i have seen but I have listed it as used. Please study the photos carefully for details. A nice loco for a USA outline layout. I make a small charge (incorporated within my postal charge) to cover the cost of packaging materials.
