This may have been asked before, but does anyone know who might make a DCC ready, sound equipped PA in D&H blue warbonnet livery?
Precision Craft Models. Here is a link for the HO version… http://precisioncraftmodels.com/PCM-358-ALCO-D&H-PA2,-Blue-Warbonnet,-16,-with-LokSound-DC-DCC,-HO-i29091-c3068.html
I have an ABA set (Espee), and am overall very pleased with them. They sound great and would pull a house down.
what scale? proto did one a while back in HO. Also, remember, the D&H did not have any “B” units.
It wasn’t DCC ready but Athearn made an Alco PA in D&H. More recently P2K/Walthers has made them too. Broadway Limited/Precision Craft have an Alco PA in D&H with all kinds of nic-nac’s installed
The proto units are very nice and run much better than the old blue box Athearn released many moons ago. It is all about how much you want to spend and what level of detail you wish to acheive. I did have the blue box units myself and they are great for the money but like I said the Protos are great.
I have a Proto 2000 D&H PA and really like the detail on it. I bought it to replace an old Athearn Blue Box one I had years ago. There is lots of room under the shell if you wanted to install sound in one.
I read something somewhere that some company makes a sound decoder for PROTO’s PA’s.
