I have this locomotive. It is the best locomotive you guys ever done! I am looking forward to see your special 50th anniversary edition SC-44 in the near future.
Now that's incredibly high-quality! It could easily be a Spectrum-brand locomotive, even though Bachmann seems to be phasing out that brand (but still makes Spectrum-quality locomotives like this one.)
Also the steam engine sounds need a huge tune up for the amount of money we pay for the money we pay for them. Your decoders also need to be trashed and replaced with better ones
Has your company ever thought to make the P42DC Genesis in HO scale? If not can you please put my idea and recommendation in your notes and make sure they go unnoticed! I think you guys would do a GREAT job making the P42DC’s based on how much you nailed it with the Chargers, I’m positive hundreds of thousands would buy Genesis as they’re still very popular and will always be!
WOW... This is very cool. Awesome scenery! The sound quality is fairly impressive! I purchased the 4-8-4 empire builder and it is NOT working out of the box. Is there an updated address to where I can send the locomotive to for repairs or replacement? Thank you! -Steven from Buffalo,
I hope DCC ready versions of these models with either a Next18 or 21MTC connector will be offered in future, so some modelers can improve inter-running with other brands of decoders that are likely on models of P42s and NPCUs these often will be running with
I have the amfleets and the sc44 the amfleets are amazing and definitely worth the money and it’s the same for the sc44 except my ditch won’t blink even in light mode and on function page 1
@@IsaacAmadeo honestly, I don’t remember. It’s been a while since I’ve ran it, because I got the brand new coaster variant, but so far it’s been running fine, controls are confusing, but when you get to understand everything will figure itself out.
Can this be offered in a DCC ready variety. I love the look of the engine but diesel Wowsound just doesn’t do it for me (I have an FP7 with wow diesel and it’s a no from me) and a dc silent version makes it more affordable even at a hobby shop.

EVERYONE makes model Big Boy locos! Well, not really, but a lot of manufacturers have or are producing them: Marklin/Trix, Broadway Limited Imports, Athern (as mentioned), MTH (I think), Rivarossi.
You need a DCC system. It will run with sound on standard DC, but all you will get is the prime mover sound. To play the sounds like the horn, bell, etc. you need a DCC system

I bought one of these units... this is absolutely by far the best locomotive you guys have produced! This is an excellent unit!
does it work on dc controllers like the bachmann acs 64?
@@Sirensofgrimescountyyes.
Fantastic model. I have three of them and they all run well with awesome sound.
I encourage you to do one for caltrans norcal scheme for these siemens

I have a HO Scale Amtrak Midwest Charger it's beautiful, I Love it
awesome and fantastic to the very detail!!!!!
Dang u did good bachmann
Love it, now you just need to make it in N Scale. Thanks, Chris
Looks great. I just might have to pick one up. Appreciate seeing more modern power made into models.
Much better then your other models. You guys really need to work on your steam engines and re design the chassis completely
Also the steam engine sounds need a huge tune up for the amount of money we pay for the money we pay for them. Your decoders also need to be trashed and replaced with better ones
@@FuzionHyperX oh okay. I'm sure they'll get right on that for you.
@@jackburton4861 lmao
@@jackburton4861 there doing good so far I see the improvements
@@InadButters they really need to update the tender cables because they break easily like my one train on my daylight the cable broke off so yeah
Just ordered one!
I ordered mine in January I run mine with a E-Z Controller and the horn and bell still play but it runs fantastic

This is one of my favorite locomotives, except I have a Cascade version than the one in thr video.

Very nice 👌 👍 👏 😀
I hope you are going to make the Capitol Corridor Bay Area CalTrans version.
These are incredible engines but how on Earth did they miss doing a Caltrans scheme?
Show !!!
Top !!!!
Excelente 👏😄👏😄👏👏👏👏👏👏
do you have any cascades cars you can pair these chargers (and the f59phi) with?
Nope their just amfleets

I agree making it just DCC ready, would make it more affordable
I’m looking forward to buying this in N scale but when I go on your website it says no products match or something? Why is that?

Cool
Are yall going to make more ringing bros stuff other then the train yall added?
Bachmann should try making a Union Pacific 4-8-8-4 Big Boy
With how athern did it (I have the athern big boy) It’d be very hard to compete because athern set a very high standard for the big boy

Looks amazing! Do you guys make any P40s?
Can you make just a dcc ready version? And also N scale with wow sound
They can’t make an N-scale with WOWSound. TCS doesn’t make WOWSound in n scale. With any luck they won’t do sound value.
And this can be yours for the low low low price of $450

DC isn’t very common anymore

WAYYYYY outside my price range. Nice piece of work, however.
