Introduction

Bachmann 52709 HO Scale 4-4-0 Steam Locomotive Virginia & Truckee DCC & Sound

From moving troops and supplies in a divided nation to definitively uniting the country in steel at Promontory, its little wonder that the 4-4-0 is known simply as the American. Larger than its predecessors and powerful enough to transform the railroad into an essential transcontinental system, the 4-4-0 was further immortalized in later years as a star in countless Western movies. To this day, its classic appearance and opulent decoration evoke the adventurous spirit of the Old West and the pioneering determination of a nation in its youth. The Bachmann 4-4-0 American now arrives with Soundtraxx Econami DCC for an immersive steam locomotive experience. Effects include a prototypical chuff, factory-programmed single chime whistle, bell, air pump, steam release, and blower, and much more – all in 16-bit polyphonic sound. Your American adventure is calling with the Bachmann sound-equipped HO Scale 4-4-0.
