## Description

USRA 0-6-0 - TCS DCC SOUND VALUE-EQUIPPED Locomotive - NEW YORK CENTRAL SYSTEM #232 - HO Scale. One of the most versatile steam locomotives to come out of the early 20th century was the USRA 0-6-0. The type was first manufactured for the United States Railroad Administration during the temporary public ownership of rail infrastructure in World War 1. Capable as both a yard switcher and a light road locomotive for branch lines and industrial trackage, the locomotive quickly found its way to all corners of the United States. Even after the war, the unprecedented popularity of the design ensured that production would continue, with many of the major private rail companies ordering their own "copycat" versions in the ensuing years. Bachmann is delighted to offer this 0-6-0 steam locomotive equipped with an Econami™ SoundTraxx® steam package. Factory-set for realism, the steam package offers a choice of whistles, variable bell types, prototypical chuffs, airpumps, dynamos and cylinder cock effects, as well as grade crossing sequence, blowdown, brake squeal/release, coupling/uncoupling, and "All aboard" station departure effects - all in 16-bit polyphonic sound. Additional features include; Econami™ sound-equipped, dual-mode NMRA-compliant decoder for DCC and analog operation, precision motor, operating headlight with roadname-specific placement, roadname-specific tender styles with operating backup lights, die-cast chassis, highly detailed body, metal wheels and side rods, E-Z Mate® Mark II couplers front and rear, performs best on 18" radius curves or greater, HO Scale 1:87

Review: Exceeds Expectations - This is a switcher locomotive meant for yard work; spotting rolling stock at individual industries,; and light passenger and light freight service. It has nice detailing, an appropriate weight for the design purpose, and ran perfectly out of the box. 1:87 dimensions match original prototype. Excellent sound features and extended CVs control advanced functions like "switching" mode; combining automatic sounds; etc.; and very good low speed control with my Digitrax DCC system. running 2 consists on my 5x9 level layout with a main line, branch line, siding, a 3 spur yard ladder, and 1 industry spur, this loco performs well. On the branch line service, it pulls a consist of 4 to 5 cars depending on the type (eg. all coach; all freight; or some combination.
