The Bachmann Spectrum #83505 CSX 7661 DCC 8-40CW. The #83505 is a DCC-equipped model (non-sound) featuring high-level “Spectrum” detailing This gray locomotive is made of plastic, steel, and diecast materials, featuring DCC technology for operation on a two-rail system.
This is DCC equipped but there is no sound. Runs great on DC analog but runs fair to poor on DCC digital. I believe it will need a new DCC Decoder. Body is in great shape with no major flaws that i can see.
