Video: Bachmann Trains HO Sound Value Alco S-2

sounds good and I will try to get one soon.

best Alco Sound I’ve heard

Nice engine. Need one for the nysw.

Nice loco with good sound. But I wish the B&O was in the mid 50s scheme for my railroad!! Merry Christmas! :slight_smile:

Sounds great, I like simple.

The Also has very realistic sound. I can’t wait to get mine.

great unit

Enjoyed the preview.

Great action Short -sweet- simple. Sound also beats a thousand words.

The Bachmann HO scale Alco S-2 diesel locomotive has very realistic train sounds.

WOW!!! I want one!!! Ha ha. Any idea how much they sell for with the sound?

Very nice piece of equipment, would work in a small yard making up freight cars.

It is great to see and hear the “Whistling John” (as in the tractor with a turbo) available in the Sound Value lineup. So many railroads had S-2s, that this should be a hit.

sound was real good

This was really nice and inspiring, the sounds are so realistic.

I’m no expert on the sounds of Alco switchers, but it sounds good to me. Thanks for demonstrating it.

Am I correct in assuming that the loco in the video was running under DCC control, not straight DC? I’d love to hear the latter, since I haven’t equipped my layout for DCC.

Fantastic! I wish they would make it in N scale.

For a Bachmann locomotive it runs well and it looks good too. I purchased a Bachmann FA-2 and it runs well on DC. Nice looking s-2!

I have an S2 by Bachmann and the sound is very quiet compared to yours. Probably need to program it.
