TOPIC: Bachmann Reading I10sa

Bachmann Reading I10sa 9 years 5 months ago #3751

What experiences, if any, do forum participants have with updating the old Bachmann Reading RR I10sa #2019 to a more "modern" DCC-with-sound equipped locomotive?
Thanks, John

I repowered one using a Bachmann spectrum 2-8-0 which is an easy conversion and can be upgraded further by using the old running gear. I updated the detail too, but thats all preference.

Which I tried my best to explain here.

Another thought might be using the new broadway limited 2-8-0s that are basically the H-10s with different shells, but I know nothing about how they are constructed and how an I-10 conversion would go.
