Bachman 4-4-0 decoder? JMRI showing multiple choices

[ChrisVA]

Does anyone know what decoder value to specify for the Bachman Steam 4-4-0 locomotive? I recently purchsed the Union Pacific 119 locomotive. I don’t see the specs in the paperwork included with the model. JMRI is showing multiple possible decoders when I specify new locomotive.

Thanks!

Read CV7 and get the manufacturer NMRA code. This works most of the time. I have a TCS decoder that reads 255 for some reason but works perfectly.

Is JMRI up to date. Each new version includes new and updated decoder definitions.

Did it return multiple choices for the decoder brand or multiple decoders from one brand?

Bachmann website says it’s a Soundtraxx® Econami™. I would select “Econami Steam OEM Bachmann Sound Value”. Since the 4-4-0 isn’t listed, just pick the above directly and not a specific loco until it is added to JMRI.
