HO Mogul source

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

I posted this question a couple of weeks ago but I still cannot locate one.
Is there a source for an HO mogul with DCC and sound already installed? I checked Tonys Trains but no moguls at all. I would really like to add one to my C&NW layout.

What era?

If you are looking for old-time, MDC made a RTR DCC ready Mogul. I still see them advertised on the Internet. However, there is not enough space anywhere for sound.I have two of them that I boouht in the last 4 months.

If you are looking for a later model, IHC Premier is not DCC ready, but easily converted to DCC. I have not seen the tender, but if it is like my 4-4-0, then sound should fit with little or no modification.

I know of no prewired Mogul like you want. However, I bet that just about any of the custom installers, like Tony’s, or Loy’s, would do it for a reasonable price.

Spacemouse, I am basically freelance and have always admired the mogul. Early or recent is not too much of a concern but my C&NW based layout is around 1950.
You say you bought yours on the internet. Where do I begin?

However, I bid on eBay for mine and got them each of them for under $60.

I don’t believe the C&NW had Moguls in the 1950s…
