With the advent of the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, the Baldwin Locomotive
Works was forced to stop shipment of over 100 Decapod 2-10-2 engines originally
bound for Czarist Russia. These orphan locomotives later found homes with
American railroad companies and helped relieve a scarcity of motive power after
WWI. They are now part of a new revolution in model train sound realism,
equipped with a TCS WOWSound CD-Quality 16-bit 44,100Hz decoder with Audio
Assist®. This decoder allows easy configuration without programming CVs as well
as a Keep-Alive® device for uninterrupted operation, even over dirty track. It
also features Chuffinity technology for amazingly diverse and realistic chuffs
and a WOWSound steam locomotive sound package that includes bell, whistle, blow
down, cylinder cocks, water fill, coupler close/release, brake release and
application, grade crossing quill, depot sounds, and more.
