Anybody want to take this thing off my hands? I don't have any use for N&W steam on my layout.

$240 and it's all yours (10% off what I paid for it).

Sound...  is awful. Out of the box it was loud. I set CV 128 (master volume) to 32 before I was happy with the volume. The whistle sounds like a dying cow. I wish I could say it was the engine, but I found a youtube video that sounds similar enough that I'm afraid the real thing sounds like a dying cow, too.

The J class used 3 chime Hancock "Steamboat" whistle (also used on K and E class passenger locos), essentially the same as used on UP 4-8-4, 4-6-6-4, and 4-8-8-4 locos.

It should sound something like this:

Did Bachmann sound anything like those?
