**Lombard Hobbies Recommendation - As modelers ourselves we highly recommend ONLY running DCC on DCC systems and DC on DC systems, regardless of 'Dual-Mode' capability. This gives optimum performance and safeguards the unit from possible damage from running on a different system than originally intended and from any inexperienced operator errors.

Prototype Information:

Now you can enjoy digital control of your favorite Thomas & Friends engines complete with authentic steam sounds! Hear the chuffs and steam exhaust as you operate your engines independently via your DCC system (available separately) and blow the whistle to let everyone know your train is on its way! This engine will also operate on traditional DC-powered systems with limited sound functionality**.

Bachmann carefully reproduces your favorite Thomas & Friends characters in HO scale. All locomotives feature realistic faces with moving eyes, operating HO scale electric drive mechanisms, highly detailed plastic body shells, all-metal wheels, and international-style hook-and-loop couplers.
