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 ‚¬Å“orphan ‚¬ï¿½ 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 Chuffinitys 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.
