Bachmann to battery/RC

I’ve had a Bachmann Anniversary 4-6-0 ET&WNC sitting on my shelf, collecting dust for around 3 years. Every since I went battery/RC I’ve wanted to convert this to my QSI/G-wire system, but really didn’t know how to do it, as I’m usually doing it in Aristo engines which are much easier, and simpler to do. I finally took the plunge into this engine and converted it. Everything went pretty smoothly, had a small issue with some dirty engine wheels on the engine I use to program decoders. Cleaned em, and was able to change the sound from a diesel to a steam engine. Here is a video of it running in and around my layout. Notice the NEW tunnel put in this summer which is a double track one!! Thanks for looking Regal

Looks real good Jerry

Nice job, Jerry.
Good to see you expanding your RC skills :wink:

Could you do one that demonstrates the sound system? Im sorta reviewing options right now…

Bart all my collection if it has sound and RC is QSI/G-wire. I have some engines with decoder in engine, and run by a battery car, with two 7.2, or 8.4 nicad batteries. I now have two baggage cars with the complete system in them. One is for my U.P. pa/pb setup its in the baggage car, and the latest I removed everything from my D&RG boxcar, and put it in the full baggage car of the ET&WNC you see in the video above!! I need one boxcar with all the electronics in it with a diesel sound from QSI to put behind my diesels and my newer U.P. Heritage diesel is all!! You can hear all this by visiting my you tube channel I believe there is even a two part video on how I put everything into the U.P. boxcar. QSI/G-wire was and has always been my system of choice due to price, and ease of installation, and thanks to Greg E. who helped me do the whole works in a boxcar with the QSI board you wire up.
