Stevelewis Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I am considering purchasing an N gauge articulated steam loco with sound, I am looking at Intermountain and Athern as being potential sources, I was windering if any one has purchased one or has any info on them?

Adrian Wintle Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Have you looked at Spookshow's reviews? Here is the steam section of his Locomotive Encyclopedia. http://www.spookshow.net/locolist.php?steam=1&nonbrass=3&sortby=4&Submit=Submit The only artic I have is the Lifelike/Walthers 2-8-8-2 in its non-sound DCC variety. It is a very good runner. Adrian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Barry Ten Posted February 7, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 7, 2014 I have the Athearn Challenger; it's a superb and powerful model. I also have the Bachmann USRA 2-6-6-2 which doesn't have sound but is a smooth runner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted February 7, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 7, 2014 I have one of the first runs of the Athearn Challenger with sound and it is good. I believe that the newer ones have a Tsunami sound decoder in them which will be even better. The Ho scale Inter-mountain Cab Forwards have Tsunami sound decoders and they are superb.

Ian Tsunami sound decoders are superb, I think they outperfom sound decoders in UK outline locos, I have a few 0n30 locos with them in and i dont think they can be faulted.
