2-8-0 STATUS All roadnames and roadnumbers are now in stock. A few roadnames and roadnumbers are in very short supply in code 110 (B&O#3, NYC, MEC and UP). We currently have Tsunami DCC sound units in stock.
2-8-0 PARTS These are being made now and we hope to see them on the next container. This includes the smoke units, 2-8-0 crew, 2-8-0 AF comp. Couplers, etc.
The Instruction manual for the DCC version of the 2-8-0 has been posted as a pdf file. This is slightly different than the hardcopy version, as it includes a section on DCC operation which wouldn't fit in the hardcopy version.
Check the order page or call for availability.
The DCC Interface Board makes conversion to DCC with SoundTraxx Tsunami sound a simple plug-in, so anyone who bought the DC no sound version will find it an easy upgrade.
Here is some video of the DCC locos running with the Tsunami sound, including some video shot at the Springfield show.
We have added a 2-8-0 FAQ page, and will add to it as questions come in.
The archive of this status page is here.
