I am asking for a Broadway Limited BlueLine Series GE AC6000CW with DCC and Sound. Does Broadway limited have a dcc and sound on them? Are these good running loco’s?
I am also asking for a Bachmann Spectrum 4-8-2 Heavy Moumtain. Are the DCC and sound good one these? Are they good Loco’s?

Bluelines don’t have the DCC. The new Paragon 2 one will.
Blueline products are DCC “ready”, but they are DC with a sound decoder installed. If you want DCC functionality, you must install a decoder for motive control. Extra cost.
Unless I am mistaken, the Bachmann decoders in their “sound on board” engines are economy line Tsunami’s from Soundtraxx, and I hear good reviews about the match.
As far as the engine itself, the Spectrum Heavy Mountain got good reviews as to its performance in its Oct 2003 review in Model Railroader, especially the slow speed aspect. The Spectrum sound units are getting very good reviews.
Yes the one I am looking at is the paragon 2.
Thanks for the info on the Bachmann I think I will definetly ask for that then.
